Bacon Cheeseburger Sloppy Joes
Description
This recipe starts by browning lean ground beef in a cast iron skillet, encouraging caramelization that adds flavor. Crisp bacon is cooked separately and crumbled. Onions are browned in the same skillet, then combined with the beef. A seasoned mixture of ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth thickened with cornstarch is added, simmered until thickened but still moist. Crisp bacon pieces are folded back in along with chopped cheddar cheese, which melts gently, binding the filling.
The result is a hearty, savory sandwich filling that balances meatiness, smoky bacon, sharp cheese, and tangy condiments. The mixture can be spooned onto soft brioche buns for sandwiches with a juicy, cheesy texture.

- 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions
- Add the ground beef to a large cast iron skillet (this browns very well) and brown until a deep brown crust appears before breaking the beef apart.

- Cook the bacon until crisp, then remove to cool and crumble.
- Add the onions to the pan
- Let brown for 1-2 minutes before stirring, then let brown for another 1-2 minutes before stirring again.
- Add the beef back into the pan.
- In a small cup mix the beef broth and cornstarch together
- Add the ketchup, mustard Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, beef broth/cornstarch mixture into the pan.
- Cook until the mixture is only slightly liquidy (about 75% of the mixture is above liquid), 3-5 minutes.

- Turn off the heat, add in the cheddar cheese and fold into the meat with a spatula until just melted.
- Served on toasted brioche buns.
