Tips:
- Use ripe pineapple: Fresh, ripe pineapple adds a burst of juicy sweetness to the sloppy Joes. If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple chunks, but be sure to drain them well.
- Don't skimp on the brown sugar: Brown sugar is what gives these sloppy Joes their signature sweet and tangy flavor. Be sure to use light or dark brown sugar, as granulated sugar will not provide the same flavor.
- Add a little heat: If you like your sloppy Joes with a bit of a kick, add a teaspoon or two of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the sauce. You can also add some chopped jalapeƱos or serrano peppers.
- Don't overcook the beef: Overcooked beef will be tough and dry. Cook the beef until it is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Serve on slider buns: Slider buns are the perfect size for these sloppy Joes. You can also use regular hamburger buns, but you may need to cut them in half.
Conclusion:
These Hawaiian sweet and tangy sloppy Joes are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a casual get-together or a weeknight dinner. The combination of sweet pineapple, tangy sauce, and savory beef is sure to please everyone at the table.
