Despite the name of this iconic retro dish, the secret to a great sloppy joe is a thick, rich, almost dry consistency, which allows the sandwich to be eaten with your hands. Serve on hamburger buns.

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds extra lean ground beef
½ onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 green pepper, diced
1 cup water
¾ cup ketchup
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 ½ teaspoons salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup water
1 pinch cayenne pepper to taste

Steps:

Place ground beef and onion in a large skillet. Turn heat to medium and cook and stir the mixture constantly until the beef is browned and forms small crumbles, about 10 minutes.
Stir in garlic and green bell pepper; cook and stir until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 cup water and stir, scraping the pan to dissolve any brown flavor bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Mix in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Add 1 more cup water and return mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated and the mixture is thick, about 40 minutes.
Season with salt , black pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste.

ROSE MARY'S HOMEMADE SLOPPY JOES

Rose Mary's Homemade Sloppy Joes image

I had never made SLOPPY JOES from SCRATCH UNTIL TODAYS DINNER. As a kid I had never had them because my Mama never made them, so it never occurred to me that I could create my own totally from scratch without the help of the canned stuff.This homemade version is much better. The original recipe for this came from the HEINZ...

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil ( i used organic coconut)
2 medium onions, chopped
2 medium jalapeno peppers seeded(chopped) my addition
1 large green bell pepper (chopped)
2 1/2 lb lean ground turkey (original recipe used beef)
3 c heinz ketchup
1/4 tsp each salt & pepper (i omitted these)
1 can(s) diced tomatoes drained (my addition)
4 Tbsp brown sugar
3 Tbsp heinz worcestershire sauce ( i used louisiana brand)
8 hamburger buns or more (i used 10 with meat left over)

Steps:

1. I doubled this recipe, and the directions stated you should get 8 sandwiches from 1 pound of ground beef, NOT IN MY HOUSE. I USED 93% LEAN GROUND TURKEY INSTEAD OF GROUND BEEF. I used 2 1/2 pounds. THIS IS MY VERSION OF THE RECIPE FOUND ON THE HEINZ BOTTLE. From now own I will be looking for the recipes on the back of the Ketchup bottles. This one was awesome.
2. Heat oil in large skillet over medium high heat, Add the chopped onions and peppers and sauté about 5 minutes.
3. Then add the Ground Turkey, & cook until it is browned and no pink remains. Drain any excess liquid through a strainer or colander. Then add the meat back into the pan.
4. Measure catsup into a 4 cup measure, then add the Worcestershire sauce and Brown sugar, stir to blend, then pour into skillet, add diced drained tomatoes and turn heat to medium low, stir to blend ketchup mixture with meat mixture, and continue to cook, add salt and pepper if desired. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, and allow to continue to cook for at least 10 to 15 minutes, and mixture has thickened.
5. Serve on Sandwich buns as desired, toasted or untoasted, with additional condiments if desired.
6. This is what we had left from the original 2 1/2 pounds of ground turkey.
