SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large pot over high heat.
• Ad garlic and onion, cook for 2 minutes until onion is almost translucent.
• Add capsicum and cook for 2 minutes until softened.
• Add beef and cook, breaking it up as you go, until it changes from red to brown.
• Add remaining ingredients. Mix well, then turn heat down to medium low (or low for strong stoves).
• Cover and cook for 30 minutes, stirring once or twice to make sure it doesn't catch on the base. (If in rush, cook 15 minutes without lid)
• Remove lid and give it a good stir for a minute. Mixture should be thick, not runny and saucy (see video). Adjust salt to taste.
• Toast rolls. Butter if desired (I don't).
• Pile on lots of filling, immediately top with cheese (heat should semi melt, otherwise pop under broiler/grill). Top with lid and serve immediately!
