MINI SLOPPY JOES WITH PULLED PORK

Mini Sloppy Joes with Pulled Pork image

If you have leftover pulled pork, with no sauce on it, turn it into sloppy Joe-type sandwiches for a twist on hamburger. Mini Kaiser rolls provide a sturdy, flavorful base for the sandwiches, which can be served alone as an appetizer, or as a main dish when accompanied by your favorite sides. We like fresh corn on the cob and coleslaw.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup finely chopped onion
⅔ cup finely chopped green bell pepper
1 cup beef stock
1 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 cups cooked pulled pork without sauce
3 dashes hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®), or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
10 mini Kaiser rolls, split and warmed

Steps:

Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper, and cook, stirring, about 5 minutes. Add beef stock, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic, and chili powder; stir until well mixed.
Mix in pulled pork until well combined. Season with hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low, and allow to bubble gently until thickened and reduced, 20 to 25 minutes.
Place about 1/2 cup of the mixture on each sliced mini Kaiser roll and serve immediately.
