Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb extra lean ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
3/4 cup barbecue sauce (any flavor)
1/4 teaspoon salt, to taste (I measure this by feel)
1/8 teaspoon black pepper (I use measuring spoon)
4 hamburger buns
1/2 cup red bell pepper (4 rings)
4 slices American cheese (or any flavor cheese)

  • Spoom hot meat mixture on top of bottom half of each bun, top with a slice of cheese and red bell pepper ring on each, then top with other half of bun.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ground beef. Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean. This will help to ensure that your sloppy joes are juicy and flavorful.
  • Cook the ground beef over medium heat. This will help to prevent the meat from drying out.
  • Drain the excess grease from the cooked ground beef. This will help to keep your sloppy joes from being too greasy.
  • Use a variety of seasonings. This will help to give your sloppy joes a complex flavor. Some good seasonings to use include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Simmer the sloppy joe sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will help to allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve sloppy joes on toasted hamburger buns. This will help to hold the sloppy joes together and make them easier to eat.
