AWESOME OPEN-FACE SLOPPY JOES
I love Sloppy Joes because there are so many different ways you can make them. You can be boring, or you can be adventurous. After a few hours playing around with this in the test kitchen, I would define this version as being mildly adventurous. It has most of the usual suspects for a good Sloppy Joe, plus a few additional...

Steps:
- 1. Gather your ingredients.
- 2. Add the oil to a large sauté pan, or skillet, over medium, and heat until shimmering, but not smoking.
- 3. Chef's Tip: I choose grapeseed oil, because it doesn't impart any additional "oil" taste, and it has a higher smoke point: 420f (216c). Compare that to olive oil with a smoke point of 320f (160c). That gives you the ability to sauté the veggies without smoking up the house... I like that.
- 4. Add the onion, and pepper, and sauté until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- 5. Chef's Note: As the veggies are sautéing, season with a bit of salt, to taste.
- 6. Chef's Tip: Adding the salt at this stage of the game will help the veggies release their moisture.
- 7. Add the garlic and continue to sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- 8. Add the tomato paste and the hot sauce to the sauté pan.
- 9. Stir without stopping until incorporated into the veggies, about 1 minute.
- 10. Add the ground beef to the sauté pan.
- 11. Stir, breaking apart with a wooden spoon until the beef loses all of its pink, about 6 minutes.
- 12. Incorporate the cumin, chili powder, paprika, mustard, and cayenne to the sauté pan. Add a bit more salt, if you feel it needs it (I usually don't think that it does).
- 13. Stir until just combined, about 1 quick minute.
- 14. Finally, add the BBQ sauce, tomato sauce vinegar, water, and Worcestershire.
- 15. Chef's Note: If you want to kick up a bit more, add a bit of Sriracha sauce. BANG.
- 16. Bring the mixture up to a light boil, and then bring down to a very light simmer.
- 17. Cover and allow it to simmer for 30 to 45 minutes.
- 18. Chef's Note: Every 5 minutes, uncover and stir.
- 19. Chef's Tip: If after 30 minutes the mixture does not appear to be thickening, remove the lid and allow it to simmer uncovered for the remaining 15 minutes.
- 20. Meanwhile, toast the bread.
- 21. Place on a plate. If you like you could run a couple of lines of mustard down the bread, or serve it on the side.
- 22. Chef's Note: I like to serve mine with coleslaw; however, the sandwich stands on its own. Full stop.
- 23. Add the sloppy joe mixture to the bread.
- 24. Serve while still nice and warm. Enjoy.
- 25. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
