THE BEST SLOPPY JOES
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.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and starting to caramelize in some spots, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon or spatula, until it is browned, no longer pink in the middle and cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, red wine vinegar, paprika, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of black pepper and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened and heated through, 5 to 6 minutes. Spoon the meat onto the toasted buns.
BEST SLOPPY JOES
Who isn't looking for quick, healthy meal solutions during the busy holiday and shopping season? Here's a sophisticated twist on a kid favorite. My daughter, Tiffany, came up with this lower-fat version of traditional sloppy joes. Best of all, this recipe can be made ahead and frozen for real holiday convenience. However, the tangy kick from the orange peel may not appeal to all children. -Suzanne McKinley, Lyons, Georgia

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of moose meat: For this recipe, you'll want to use a cut of moose meat that is relatively tender, such as the shoulder or flank. Avoid using tougher cuts, such as the neck or shank, as they will not cook as well in this dish.
- Grind the moose meat yourself: If possible, grind the moose meat yourself using a meat grinder. This will give you more control over the texture of the meat and ensure that it is evenly ground.
- Brown the moose meat before adding the other ingredients: Browning the moose meat before adding the other ingredients will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming dry.
- Use a variety of spices and seasonings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and seasonings to create a sloppy joe sauce that is flavorful and unique. Some good options include chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Let the sloppy joes simmer for a while: Simmering the sloppy joes for a while will help to develop the flavors and make the sauce nice and thick.
- Serve the sloppy joes on your favorite bread or rolls: Sloppy joes are traditionally served on hamburger buns, but you can also serve them on other types of bread or rolls, such as hoagie rolls or slider buns.
Conclusion:
Moose sloppy joes are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a casual gathering or a weeknight dinner. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your moose sloppy joes turn out perfect every time. So next time you have some moose meat on hand, give this recipe a try!
