Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion and red pepper. Keep them aside for later use.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned and fully cooked through. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
- Add the finely chopped onion and red pepper to the skillet with the browned beef. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
- Pour in 2 cups of tomato sauce and add 2 tablespoons of tomato paste. Stir until everything is well incorporated.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened and flavorful.
- While the meat mixture simmers, split the hamburger buns in half and lightly toast them if desired.
- Once the meat mixture is ready, spoon generous portions onto the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Place the top halves of the buns over the meat to form sandwiches.
- Serve the Super Sloppy Joes hot, with your favorite side dishes if desired.
Tips:
- Use ground beef with a bit of fat (80/20%) for the best flavor and texture.
- You can substitute the hamburger buns with whole grain rolls for a healthier option.
- Add some minced garlic or chili powder to the mixture if you prefer a spicier Sloppy Joe.
- Toast the buns lightly before serving to add some crunch and prevent them from getting too soggy.
- Consider using a variety of colorful bell peppers for added visual appeal and flavor.
Super Sloppy Joes are a delicious, hearty meal that can be prepared quickly and enjoyed by all. The combination of juicy ground beef, tangy tomato sauce, and sweet brown sugar creates a mouthwatering dish that's perfect for any occasion.
