I modified a Sloppy Joe recipe until it was to our liking so here is a version that is thick, slightly sweet, slightly tangy, and has a Mexican flair. If you do not like your Sloppy Joes on the sweet side, reduce the amount of brown sugar. Ingredients:
2 1/2 lbs ground beef |
1 onion, finely chopped |
1/2 bell pepper, finely chopped |
3 cloves garlic, minced |
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste |
1/4 cup ketchup |
1 cup water |
4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar |
1 1/2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce |
2 tablespoons chili powder |
2 teaspoons paprika |
2 teaspoons cumin |
2 teaspoons dried oregano, crushed |
1/3 cup brown sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. In a large pot over medium heat, saute the ground beef, onion, and bell pepper until cooked.
2. Drain the fat from the pan.
3. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until incorporated.
4. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about ten minutes or until desired consistency is reached.
5. Serve over buns.
6. For another variation, server over buns and then sprinkle some grated cheese over all. Microwave for about 15 seconds or until the cheese melts.
