Bacon Sloppy Joes Recipes

BACON, BEER AND CHEESE SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• In a large skillet cook the bacon on medium high heat for 2-3 minutes or until crispy but still bendable.
• Remove the bacon from the pan and drain all but two tablespoons of the fat.
• Add the onions and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until softened.
• Add in the beef, lower the heat to medium and cook well, breaking it apart but leaving some chunks about the size of a raspberry or small grape (don't crush the heck out of it, the larger crumbles will help give the sandwich stability).
• Cook until well browned (5-6 minutes), then add in the ketchup, tomato paste, Worchestershire sauce, dijon mustard, beer and beef broth.
• Stir well, continue cooking until the sauce starts to evaporate and the mixture becomes "sloppy" (about 5-6 minutes).
• The consistency you are looking for is reduced enough that spoonfuls can be placed on top of each other with the bottom spoonful not spreading more than a half inch or so.
• Add in the chunks of cheddar and cooked bacon crumbles a minute before serving and stir just slightly to melt them into little puddles.
• Toast the buns then spoon over the mixture and top with additional bacon (if desired).
