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.

SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and crumble in the beef mince. Fry for 10 mins, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as you go, stirring until it browns all over. Tip onto a plate. Heat the rest of the oil in the same pan and fry the onion and pepper for 6-8 mins until softened. Sprinkle in the garlic granules, paprika and sugar, then return the mince and any resting juices back into the pan and stir everything together. Sizzle for 1-2 mins to combine.
• Splash in the vinegar, then stir through the ketchup and mustard. Pour over the stock and bring to a simmer, then turn down the heat to low and bubble everything gently for 15-20 mins until the mixture is thick and glossy. Taste and season if needed. To freeze, leave to cool completely, then tip into an airtight container or divide between freezer bags and freeze for up to three months. Defrost thoroughly in the fridge overnight and reheat in a pan until piping hot. Toast the burger buns in a hot pan, then fill with the sloppy joe mixture and top with chilli sauce, if you like.
