Drunken Sloppy Joes image

These drunken sloppy joes were inspired by by the drunken meatballs recipe that I make (recipe #276860). I had a gathering with a group of friends that usually request the drunken meatballs but I wanted to try to do something else. So, I looked at what I had in the house and came up with Drunken Sloppy Joes. I am sure any kind of bourbon would work but I drink so little (funny considering this recipe) that I have been working through the same bottle of Southern Comfort since Christmas.

Time 45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup onion, very finely chopped (I used my mini chopper)
2 lbs extra lean ground beef
1 1/2 cups ketchup (I recommend using Heinz)
1 cup Southern Comfort
1 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large and deep pan.
  • Add the onions and fry gently until they have started to go tender. This takes about 5 minutes, stirring often.
  • Crumble in the ground beef and cook, stirring when needed, until all of the meat is browned. This took me about 8 minutes.
  • Add the ketchup, Southern Comfort and brown sugar and stir until everything is combined with the meat.
  • Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer and continue to simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring now and then.
  • Stir in the dijon mustard and then let simmer for another 15 minutes or until the sauce is the thickness you like with a sloppy joe.
  • Serve on buns.
