SLOPPY JOES



Sloppy Joes image

This simple version of sloppy Joes, the classic sandwich served in school cafeterias and at kitchen counters across the country, comes together in about 20 minutes and can be made with ground beef, chicken or turkey. As the name suggests, they are messy, so serve with a fork and plenty of napkins.

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon molasses
1 garlic clove, finely minced
1/4 teaspoon orange zest
Pinch of ground cloves
Hot sauce to taste
1 pound ground beef
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
6 whole-wheat hamburger buns, toasted if desired

Steps:

  • In a saucepan over low heat combine the sauce ingredients. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix well, and simmer while preparing the meat.
  • Heat a heavy nonstick or cast-iron skillet, at least 10 inches in diameter, over medium-high heat. Add the ground sirloin, and saute, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the meat is no longer pink.

Heat for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and season with salt, pepper or more hot sauce, if desired. Spoon 1/2 cup of the mixture over each bun. Serve immediately.
