Ingredients

  • 1½ pounds ground beef
  • ¾ cup onion, diced
  • ¾ cup green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves minced garlic 
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • ½ cup barbecue sauce
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons chili sauce
  • ¼ cup beef broth, or water
  • 8 Buns

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place ground beef, onions, pepper, garlic, and seasoned salt in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook and break up meat until it is browned. Drain off the fat and add the remaining ingredients.
  2. Bring to a simmer, turn to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes or until meat is tender and the sauce has thickened. Serve on buns.

Notes

  • STORE leftover sloppy joe meat in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. Reheating is as easy as microwaving the meat in bursts, or warming the mixture in a skillet on the stovetop until heated through.
  • FREEZE leftover slopThaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in a slow cooker or stovetop.
