Homemade Sloppy Joes
Description
This Sloppy Joes recipe starts by browning ground beef with minced onion, bell pepper, and garlic, creating a flavorful base. The sauce is made by mixing ketchup, mustard, white distilled vinegar, brown sugar, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, salt, and black pepper, adding a balance of tanginess, sweetness, and spice. Once combined, the sauce simmers with the meat mixture to thicken slightly before serving.
The sandwich rolls hold the saucy filling well, making it suitable for casual meals and easy serving. The incorporation of bell pepper and onion adds texture and subtle sweetness, complementing the meaty sauce.
Substitutions for bell pepper or leaving it out can accommodate picky eaters without impacting the core flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ sweet onion minced
- 1/2 bell pepper minced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¾ cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 tablespoon white distilled vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar more or less to taste
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 sandwich roll
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks.
- When beef is partially cooked through, add the onion, pepper, and garlic to the pan and continue cooking and stirring until meat is fully cooked and vegetables have softened. Drain grease and return to the pan.
- Add the ketchup, mustard, vinegar, brown sugar, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, salt, and pepper to a small bowl and whisk well to combine.
- Pour the sauce over the ground beef and stir to coat.
- Simmer the meat mixture for 5-10 minutes to thicken up as much as you'd like before spooning onto sandwich rolls.
Notes
- Bell pepper color can be varied or omitted according to preference or dietary needs.
