Ingredients

1 lb. ground beef
¼ cup finely diced onion ((frozen is fine))
1 clove garlic, minced (or ⅛ teaspoon dried garlic powder)
¾ cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Dash of black pepper
For serving: sandwich buns

Steps:

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, onion and garlic until the meat is no longer pink. Drain.
Whisk together the remaining ingredients to make the sauce. Add to the skillet with the beef, onion and garlic.
Simmer uncovered over low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring regularly, until the mixture reaches desired consistency. You can keep the skillet covered if you like the sauce "sloppier." If the sauce is too thick, gradually stir in a small amount of warm water or beef broth. If the sauce is too thin, gradually sift in a small amount of flour while stirring vigorously to thicken.

These fantastic, and I do mean drool worthy fantastic, sloppy joes were a lunch offering at a bazaar I did at a local high school. After raving about them (seriously these are amazingly good, best I ever tasted) and asking for the recipe, I got it emailed to me the very next day. I am so glad Sharon shared this recipe with me,...

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.

THE BEST SLOPPY JOES

The Best Sloppy Joes image

This is weeknight comfort food at its finest. We created a homemade sauce that is tangy and flavorful but also quick and easy. We used both ketchup and canned tomato sauce for lots of tomato-y zip and just a touch of brown sugar for a bit of sweetness and slight caramel finish. Green bell pepper is a key addition; it really enhances the other ingredients, elevating the flavor profile into the realm of a true sloppy joe.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pound lean ground beef
12 ounces (1 1/3 cup) tomato sauce
3/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon paprika
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and starting to caramelize in some spots, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon or spatula, until it is browned, no longer pink in the middle and cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes.
Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, red wine vinegar, paprika, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of black pepper and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened and heated through, 5 to 6 minutes. Spoon the meat onto the toasted buns.
