Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

1¼ pounds 90% lean ground beef
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for buns
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1½ teaspoons smoked paprika
¾ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¾ teaspoon dry mustard
1 (14-oz) can tomato sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
½ teaspoon hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco or Frank's, or to taste
Hamburger buns

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, using your hands, mash the beef with the baking soda. Let it sit on the counter for 20 to 25 minutes to tenderize.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and set a rack in the middle position.
  • Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until bubbling. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Add the beef, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, and dry mustard and cook, breaking up meat with wooden spoon, until mostly brown, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, butter the inside of the buns and place on a baking sheet, butter side up. Toast in the oven until warmed through and lightly crispy, about 5 minutes.
  • Taste the sloppy Joe mixture and adjust seasonings. (If you like your Sloppy Joes sweet, feel free to add 1 teaspoon of brown sugar.) Spoon the mixture onto the toasted hamburger buns and serve.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The meat mixture can be frozen for up to 3 months and reheated in the microwave om on the stovetop until hot.
