Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb. ground beef
¼ cup finely diced onion ((frozen is fine))
1 clove garlic, minced (or ⅛ teaspoon dried garlic powder)
¾ cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Dash of black pepper
For serving: sandwich buns

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, onion and garlic until the meat is no longer pink. Drain.
  • Whisk together the remaining ingredients to make the sauce. Add to the skillet with the beef, onion and garlic.
  • Simmer uncovered over low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring regularly, until the mixture reaches desired consistency. You can keep the skillet covered if you like the sauce "sloppier." If the sauce is too thick, gradually stir in a small amount of warm water or beef broth. If the sauce is too thin, gradually sift in a small amount of flour while stirring vigorously to thicken.

THE BEST SLOPPY JOES



The Best Sloppy Joes image

This is weeknight comfort food at its finest. We created a homemade sauce that is tangy and flavorful but also quick and easy. We used both ketchup and canned tomato sauce for lots of tomato-y zip and just a touch of brown sugar for a bit of sweetness and slight caramel finish. Green bell pepper is a key addition; it really enhances the other ingredients, elevating the flavor profile into the realm of a true sloppy joe.

MOMMA'S SLOPPY JOES



Momma's Sloppy Joes image

I don't know where my mother got this recipe but it's the best sloppy joes I ever had! Whenever I make it, it reminds me of her. Also the longer you leave this in the skillet or crockpot the better it tastes!

Provided by Diana Gray

Categories     Beef

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lb ground beef
1 c onion
1 can(s) 16 oz can of tomato sauce
1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 c mustard
1/4 c ketchup
1/4 c sweet or dill relish (this can be eliminated if desired)

Steps:

  • 1. Brown ground beef in skillet. Drain grease and add other ingredients. Cook in skillet for 30 minutes or longer.
  • 2. You may put this in a crockpot on low for several hours, the longer time allowed for the ingredients to "marry" the better. Just make sure you check it from time to time and stir so it won't dry out

Tips:

  • Use a variety of ground meats. Momma's Sloppy Joes can be made with ground beef, ground turkey, or a combination of both. You can also use Italian sausage or ground chicken.
  • Brown the meat well. This will help to develop the flavor of the meat and prevent it from being greasy.
  • Use a good quality tomato sauce. The tomato sauce is the base of the Sloppy Joes, so it's important to use a sauce that you like the taste of. You can use a jarred sauce, or you can make your own.
  • Add some sweetness. A little bit of sugar or honey will help to balance out the acidity of the tomato sauce.
  • Season the Sloppy Joes to taste. You may want to add some salt, pepper, garlic powder, or onion powder.
  • Simmer the Sloppy Joes for at least 30 minutes. This will help to develop the flavors and make the meat tender.
  • Serve the Sloppy Joes on hamburger buns or hoagie rolls. You can also serve them over rice or pasta.

Conclusion:

Momma's Sloppy Joes are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that the whole family will enjoy. They're perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual get-together.
