Sloppy Joe's

 

The BEST and very easy. You will never make Sloppy Joe's from a can again. 

 

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef

1 whole medium onion, chopped 

1 teaspoon salt

1 T brown sugar

1 T apple cider vinegar

1 T Worcestershire sauce

1 T yellow mustard

1 cup ketchup

6 hamburger buns 

Sliced mild or sharp cheddar cheese 

Directions:

In a medium skillet or braiser over medium heat, brown the ground beef and onions. Break up the ground beef into small pieces while cooking. Drain off fat when browned. Add remaining ingredients into the ground beef and mix well. Cover and simmer on low for 30-45 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Meanwhile, butter and toast buns. Serve with grated or sliced cheddar cheese and a squirt of yellow mustard on top of the meat mixture.

Sloppy Joe Sticks: 1 loaf of French bread sliced down the center and butter. Spread sloppy Joe mixture on both sides and cover with cheese. Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes until the bread is toasted and cheese is melty. Slice it into bread servings and serve hot.

Sloppy Joe Hand Pies: Refrigerated pie dough or Frozen hand pie dough from Goya. Press out into a larger circle, spread sloppy joy mix in center, top with grated cheese and bake at 400 for 12-14 minutes until hand pie is golden brown. 

Sloppy Joe Grilled Cheese: Sourdough bread, softened butter with shredded cheddar cheese and 1/3 cup of warm sloppy Joe filling. Spread butter on the bread. Place cheese and filling between bread slice and griddle on both side until golden, toasted and cheese has melted. 

Serve with potato chips and pickle slices.
