Chili Cheese Sloppy Joes
Description
Chili Cheese Sloppy Joes feature ground beef cooked with onions and green bell pepper, infused with garlic and a mix of chili powder and cumin for seasoning. Brown sugar and tomato-based sauces create a flavorful, slightly sweet and tangy base. The sauce is cooked to a thick consistency, making it ideal for sandwich filling. Topping the mixture with sour cream, canned onions, and cheddar cheese adds richness and texture contrast. The sandwich is assembled on brioche buns, which provide a tender, slightly sweet bread to complement the savory filling.
The cooking method involves browning the beef and vegetables, then simmering with spices and liquids to develop flavor and achieve the classic sloppy joe texture. Sour cream and cheese added as toppings enhance creaminess and melt slightly from the heat.
This hearty sandwich suits casual dinners or quick meals where a filling, saucy meat mixture is desired. Its balanced spice and creamy accents make it versatile for serving with chips, fries, or a simple salad on the side.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (85/15)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper coarse ground
- 1 white onion chopped and divided
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups tomato puree
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- In a large skillet on medium high heat add the beef, salt, pepper, 3/4 of the onions and green bell pepper, cooking well, breaking it apart but leaving some chunks for about 5-6 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add in the garlic, chili powder, cumin, brown sugar, tomato puree, ketchup and beef broth, cooking until the sauce starts to evaporate and the mixture becomes "sloppy" (about 5-6 minutes).
- Spoon the mixture onto the brioche buns and top with sour cream, remaining white onion and shredded cheddar cheese.
