A simple and delicious recipe for sloppy joes provided by Joanna Naclerio.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/4 lbs ground beef
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 - 2 1/2 tsp steak seasoning blend
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 small red pepper, chopped
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cups tomato sauce
  • 2 tsp tomato paste
  • 4 - 6 crusty rolls, split, toasted, and lightly buttered

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and beef to the pan, spreading it around the pan to break it up.
  2. Combine brown sugar and steak seasoning then add the mixture to the skillet and combine.
  3. When the meat has browned, add onion and red pepper. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes.
  4. Add vinegar, stirring briefly to reduce, then add Worcestershire, tomato sauce and paste, stirring to combine. Reduce heat to simmer and cook sloppy joe mixture 5 minutes longer.
  5. Using a large spoon, pile sloppy meat onto toasted, buttered bun bottoms and cover with bun tops.

Notes

  • Try not to overfill the bun with meat or else it will end up all over you!
