Mississippi Roast Sloppy Joe Recipe
Description
Ground beef is browned and drained before cooking with sautéed onions that develop slight charred edges and minced garlic. The signature “ranch” sauce blends mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, milk, dried dill, paprika, and pepperoncini juice, creating a tangy and herbaceous base for the sloppy joe filling. Sliced pepperoncini peppers, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup are added for flavor complexity. Butter is stirred in to enrich the mixture, which is thickened with a mixture of beef broth and cornstarch to achieve a cohesive, saucy consistency.
The beef mixture is spooned onto toasted buns—preferably brioche or other favorites—layered with slices of provolone cheese for a mild, creamy contrast. Additional pepperoncini slices can be added atop for extra tang and heat. The result is a messy, satisfying sandwich combining robust beef, subtle heat, and melt-in-your-mouth cheese.
Ingredients
- olive oil drizzle of
- 1 lb. ground beef usually 85/15
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Instructions
- To a large skillet, add olive oil and heat over MED HIGH heat. Add beef and cook, crumbling as it browns, for about 4-5 minutes. Drain beef and set aside on a plate.
- To same skillet, add onion and cook another 4-5 minutes, stirring just occasionally, so the onions are softened, but a little charred on the edges. Add the beef back to the pan, along with the minced garlic. Cook about 1 minute.
- Reduce heat to MED. Season with salt and pepper, then add in sauce ingredients (mayonnaise, vinegar, milk, dill, paprika, and pepper juice), and stir well to combine. Stir in peppers, Worcestershire sauce and ketchup.
- Top with butter and stir until melted. In a small bowl, whisk together beef broth and cornstarch. Pour into the skillet and cook, stirring often, until thickened... usually about 5 minutes or so.
- Serve on toasted buns with a slice of provolone cheese and a couple extra slices of pepperoncini peppers (optional)
