Sweet & Spicy Sloppy Joe Recipe
Description
The Sweet & Spicy Sloppy Joe Recipe starts by browning lean ground beef with diced onions and garlic, building a flavorful base. The addition of ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and water creates a thick, saucy filling enriched over slow simmering for up to an hour. Red pepper flakes provide adjustable spiciness, while salt and black pepper season to taste.
To complete the sandwich, hamburger buns are toasted on their cut sides with optional butter and garlic rubbing before being piled with the beef mixture and topped with grated white cheddar cheese. This layering adds textural contrast and a creamy, sharp cheese component.
This preparation is convenient for hearty lunches or casual dinners, delivering familiar flavors with a sweet and spicy twist. The long low simmer tenderizes the meat and develops depth without complexity.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef 93/7, lean
- 1 cup onion diced
