Dan's
favorite sloppy joe recipe
|
|
|
While
not quite a gourmet hamburger recipe, this
easy sloppy Joe recipe is one of my family's
favorites. I especially love it as an outdoor
cooking recipe, because it's a one-potter
that uses a single burner and needs only
the simplest of everyday ingredients. It's
economical too - 1 pound of beef is ample
for 4 servings.
This
ground beef recipe also freezes and travels
well, so if you prefer, you can always prepare
it at home to take with you.

I
bet you've always wondered how to make sloppy
joes, right? Well, while variations abound,
this one is tried and tested - a real classic
- which my family has pronounced "excellent".
So, consider your search for great sloppy
joe recipes over, forget about that barbecue
hamburger recipe you were thinking of (just
for the moment), and dig in and enjoy! (My
kids love sloppy joes with French fries and
coleslaw,
so that's how I usually serve them!)

Serves
4
INGREDIENTS:
|
|
 |
1
pound ground beef |
|
1
onion, chopped |
|
1/2
red bell pepper, chopped |
|
1/2
(6 ounce) can tomato paste |
|
1/2
cup water |
|
1
tablespoon Worcestershire
sauce |
|
2
cloves garlic, minced |
|
1-1/2
teaspoons chili powder |
|
1/2
teaspoon paprika |
|
1/2
teaspoon ground cumin |
|
1/2
teaspoon distilled white
vinegar |
|
1-1/2
tablespoon brown sugar |
|
1
teaspoon dried oregano |
|
1/4
teaspoon salt, or to taste |
|
1/4
teaspoon ground black pepper,
or to taste |
|
4
hamburger buns, split |
| |
| PREPARATION: |
|
In
a large, high-brimmed skillet
brown the ground beef for
5 minutes over medium-high
heat. |
|
Add
the onion and red bell pepper;
saute for 5 more minutes,
or until onion is tender.
Drain the fat - who needs
it? |
|
Mix
in tomato paste and water,
stirring until paste is
dissolved. Stir in Worcestershire
sauce, garlic, chili powder,
paprika, cumin, vinegar,
brown sugar, oregano, salt
and pepper. |
|
Continue
to heat for 5 to 10 minutes,
or until the mixture is
nice and thick. |
|
Split
your hamburger buns and
spoon the beef mixture
on them. I like to toast
the buns a little first,
to make them a little
crispy. Add a little olive
oil to the skillet and
place the halves face-down
for a minute or so until
they are lightly toasted.
