Sloppy Joe
One of our childhood favorites
Servings: 12 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- ½ White Onion diced
- 3 Garlic Cloves minced
- ¾ cup Water
- ¾ cup Ketchup
- 1½ tsp Spicy Brown Mustard
- ½ tsp White Vinegar
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1½ tbsp Brown Sugar
- ½ tsp Black Pepper
- ¼ tsp Ground Turmeric
Instructions
- Brown ground beef, in a prepared pan (add a bit of oil to the pan to prevent sticking) for about five minutes over medium high heat.
- While the meat cooks, dice your onion and mince the garlic. Add the onion after five minutes to the pan with the beef and stir.
- After another five minutes add the garlic and stir.
- Allow garlic to cook for 30 seconds to a minute to become fragrant.
- Add the rest of the sauce ingredients and turn heat down to medium low.
- Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove cover and simmer another 5 minutes.
Notes
Dice a green pepper for additional texture or a jalapeno for texture and spice.
Another way to add heat would be by sprinkling chili powder into the sauce or using a hot sauce of your choice.
Serve the traditional way on a burger bun, or use Hawaiian rolls to serve as sliders at a party or for younger children.
Add your favorite cheese and serve over fries for a bit of change!
