Not Very Sloppy Sloppy Joes Recipes

THE BEST SLOPPY JOES

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.

EMILY'S FAMOUS SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, saute the ground beef for 5 minutes. Add the onion and red bell pepper; saute for 5 more minutes, or until onion is tender. Drain the fat.
• Mix in tomato paste and water, stirring until paste is dissolved. Stir in garlic, chili powder, paprika, cumin, vinegar, brown sugar, oregano, salt and pepper. Continue to heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or until mixture is thick and stewy.

NOT VERY SLOPPY SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• 1. Line a large baking sheet with non stick aluminum foil and pre heat the oven to 350. I don't like cleaning cookie sheets. :)
• 2. Brown and crumble the hamburger until it is fully cooked.
• 3. Make your favorite sloppy joe recipe or open a can of Manwhich. Sometimes that is not so bad for quick kids lunch. Cook mixture until hot and flavors have blended.
• 4. Now for the fun part! Pull the biscuits and flatten until they are about 4-5 inches across. Put about 2 heaping tablespoons of filling in the middle and top with shredded cheese. I used sharp cheddar. Now fold one side over to meet the other side and press them together. Use a fork to crimp the edges and to make sure they will be closed. Bake 15-20 at 350 until golden brown.
