Sloppy Joe's

Sloppy Joe's

Sloppy Joes are a classic weeknight meal on a budget.  Homemade sloppy joes are easy to make, are delicious, and take the flavor of this classic dish to a whole new level! This is also a great use for all that wild game ground meat that you have in your freezer.

Previously, we have made Roasted Sloppy Joe Stuffed Bell Peppers, which were a huge hit! Be sure to check that recipe out as well for a little twist on Sloppy Joe's.

Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground Beef (sub ground venison)
• 2 T Olive Oil
•  1 Medium Yellow Onion, chopped 
• 1 T Tomato Paste 
See: Mango Habanero Glazed BBQ Pecan Chicken
• 3 Clove Garlic, Minced
• Meat Church Holy Cow to taste
• 1 C Tomato Sauce 
• 1/3 C Ketchup 
• 1 T Worcestershire Sauce 
• 1 T Apple Cider Vinegar 
• 1 T Brown Sugar

Prepare the sloppy joe mixture
Add the oil to a heavy pan over medium heat. Cook the onion until translucent. Add in the garlic and tomato paste. Cook until fragrant which should take 2-3 minutes.

Stir in the ground meat and season with Meat Church Holy Cow. Cook until browned which will take 6 - 7 minutes.  

Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the W sauce, tomato sauce, ketchup, apple cider vinegar and brown sugar. Simmer until slightly thickened. Set aside to cool a bit. 

Prepare the Buns

Toast your buns in butter or mayo and let cool. This will create a sort of barrier between the soft bun and warm sloppy Joe mixture. 

Sloppily, Scoop the Joe on to the bun.

Serve and enjoy!
