BBQ Grape Sloppy Joes
Description
This recipe features ground beef browned with diced onions, then simmered with grape jelly and barbecue sauce until the mixture thickens and becomes saucy but not dry. The grape jelly adds a fruity sweetness that balances the smoky and tangy barbecue flavors.
The sandwich assembly includes a cream cheese spread that combines softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, onion juice, and seasonings, bringing a smooth and slightly tangy element that complements the warm meat mixture. Serving the sloppy joe filling on soft brioche buns rounds out the sandwich with a buttery, tender bread.
These sloppy joes are practical for casual meals and offer a flavor twist on the classic sloppy joe by adding grape jelly and a rich cream cheese spread. Leftover cream cheese spread can be refrigerated up to a week.
