National Sloppy Joe Day

Chef Mike






National Sloppy Joe Day was Monday 3/18/24


When you think of a simple and delicious meal that needs some elevation - a sloppy joe fits the bill. This dish is a very cost effective option for the busy working family. There are also many variations for this dish from nachos, to sliders to a philly hoagie bun. One final step that really elevates this entree is to use lamb instead of ground beef. The milder, subtle, nuttier flavor is something that pairs well with tomato, dijon onion and garlic. 


Below is a link to the recipe video and the ingredients 



Recipe Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef (you can also use ground turkey, lamb or chicken)

  • 1 onion, diced

  • 1 green bell pepper, diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup ketchup

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 tablespoon mustard

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Hamburger buns, for serving - toast these for better flavor 


Instructions:


  • - cook the ground beef over medium heat until it's browned and cooked through

  • - Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the ground beef.

  • - Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute, until fragrant.

  • - Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and chili powder. 

  • - Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.

  • Once the mixture has thickened slightly, remove the skillet from the heat.

  • spoon the  mixture onto hamburger buns and enjoy

  • customize this recipe to your liking by adding other ingredients like diced tomatoes, hot sauce, or different spices. 

Enjoy!
