Ingredients

  • 1½ pounds ground beef extra lean
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 1 medium green bell pepper diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
  • 1 cup beef broth low sodium
  • 4 ounces Velveeta cheese
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook the beef. Add the ground beef to an oven safe skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often and breaking the beef apart as you go, until the beef is no longer pink.
  2. Add onion and pepper. To the same skillet add the onion and bell pepper. Stir occasionally and cook until the onion is softened and translucent, 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the garlic. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until aromatic.
  4. Cook and thicken beef mixture. Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture and cook while stirring, for another minute. Add the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and beef broth to the skillet and stir well. Turn the heat down to medium heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thick, about 20 minutes.
  5. Stir in some cheese. Stir in the Velveeta and 1 cup of the cheddar cheese and cook until the cheese melts.
  6. Finish and broil. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the meat mixture. Place the skillet under the broiler for about 5 minutes until the cheese melts and browns. The dip should be hot and bubbly.
  7. Garnish and serve. Garnish with some chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey instead of ground beef for a leaner option.
  • Make a batch of original sloppy joes and save half of the meat. Add cheese to one half and serve as a dip. You get two dishes with the effort of one.
  • Toast baguette slices to serve with the dip.
  • You can substitute the beef broth for chicken broth if that's all you have on hand.
  • Store leftover sloppy joe dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bake in the oven to reheat or microwave.
  • Once cooled in the fridge, you can store this dip in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Remove from the freezer and place in the refrigerator until thawed. Bake in the oven to reheat or microwave.
