Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil, over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and crispy, about 8 minutes. Carefully drain the excess grease and return the pan to the stove.
  2. Lower the heat to medium and add the onions and peppers, sautéing until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté briefly, about 1 minute, to release its aroma.
  3. Stir in the remaining ingredients, minus the vinegar, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 30 to 45 minutes.
  4. Add the vinegar and stir to combine. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed.
  5. Serve on burger buns, with pickles and/or potato chips.

Notes

  • Sloppy Joes can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 4 days.
  • When ready to reheat, use a medium saucepan and reheat over medium-low heat until hot. You can a few splashes of water to bring it back to the original consistency.
  • Homemade Sloppy Joes can be frozen for up to 3-4 months. When ready to eat, no need to defrost, just place it frozen in a saucepan and reheat on medium-low until hot.
