Sausage and Peppers Sloppy Joes
Description
This Sausage and Peppers Sloppy Joes recipe starts by browning ground pork with fennel seeds and seasoning before adding minced garlic, diced onion, and red and green bell peppers. The vegetables soften while blending their flavors with the pork. The dish is then simmered with tomato puree, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and chicken stock until the sauce thickens and coats the savory meat and pepper mixture.
The combination results in a rich, slightly sweet, and tangy filling that contrasts the savory fennel-seasoned pork and vegetables. Toasted brioche buns serve as a soft, slightly sweet base that complements the sandwich's saucy filling. A slice of provolone cheese melted on top adds creaminess and mild sharpness, balancing the spices and acidity.
These Sloppy Joes offer a hearty and satisfying handheld meal option that highlights the melding of sausage flavor with garden peppers and a savory tomato sauce. The optional addition of crushed red chili flakes allows customizing the heat level.
