Description
This old fashioned sloppy joes recipe with Fire Roasted Pepper Bits is a classic family-friendly meal, delivering a deeply satisfying, smoky, and tangy flavor. It’s a reliable and easy dinner solution perfect for busy evenings.
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 0.5 cup diced fire roasted pepper bits, from a can (drained)
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Hamburger buns, for serving
Instructions
- Brown Meat: In a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, cook 1 lb ground beef, breaking it apart until no pink remains. Drain fat.
- Sautรฉ Aromatics: Add diced onion to the skillet; cook until softened. Stir in minced garlic for one minute until fragrant.
- Build Sauce: Stir in tomato sauce, fire roasted pepper bits, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, and brown sugar. Mix well.
- Simmer and Thicken: Bring mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until sauce thickens, coating a spoon. Season to taste.
- Serve Sloppy Joes: Spoon the hot, saucy mixture onto toasted hamburger buns.
Notes
Do not rush simmering to achieve ideal saucy consistency. If sauce is too thin, simmer uncovered; if too thick, add water or broth. For dietary adjustments, serve over lettuce wraps (keto), use lentils (vegan), or gluten-free buns (GF).
