Sloppy Joes



World's Greatest Sloppy Joes

Sloppy Joe...Slop Sloppy Joe....

I have a horrible confession to make. In the not so long ago time frame of my life...I used to buy Manwich to make sloppy joes. I know...I am ashamed and embarrassed. Thanks for letting me confide in you all. 

But, now that it is off my chest and I feel infinitely better, let me introduce you to the world's greatest sloppy joe recipe. 

These are the world's best Sloppy Joes... not kidding even a tiny bit. Your house will smell incredible as soon as you start cooking. Anyone who you are cooking for will love you forever and always. And the leftovers, those are equally (if not even more) incredible. 

It is time to recreate a childhood favorite. Your taste buds can thank me later. 



Ingredients

2 lbs Ground Beef
1 Medium Onion- diced
1 Green Pepper- diced
5 Cloves Garlic- minced
1 1/4 Cups Ketchup
1 Cup Water
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
2 teaspoons Chili Powder
1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
Worcestershire Sauce 
2 Tablespoons Tomato Paste
Salt and Pepper
Fresh Rolls

STEP ONE: Cook your ground beef until brown in a large pan over medium high heat. Drain most of the fat. 


(Isn't that beef beautiful? We buy it from a local ranch here in town.) 

STEP TWO: Add in your onion, green pepper and garlic. Cook for 3-5 minutes. 












STEP THREE: Add in: The ketchup, water, brown sugar, chili powder, dijon mustard, red pepper flakes, worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, salt and pepper. Stir to combine all together. 



STEP FOUR: Simmer for 15 minutes. *I know it already smells amazing.... restrain yourself :) It is only going to get better. 












STEP FIVE: Give it one final stir all together. Now, dump a giant serving onto your eagerly awaiting roll. 



STEP SIX: Grab a fork... there is no way you will be able to finish this dish without one!
