Homemade Sloppy Joes don’t have to be difficult to eat. Despite the name of this iconic retro dish, the secret to a great Sloppy Joe is a thick, rich, almost dry consistency, which allows the sandwich to be eaten with your hands. Serve on hamburger buns.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds extra-lean ground beef
- ½ onion, diced
- 1 green pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups water, divided
- ¾ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 dash Worcestershire sauce
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
Directions
Step 1
Place ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir until beef is browned and crumbled, about 10 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in green pepper and garlic; cook and stir until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 cup water and stir, scraping the pan to dissolve any brown flavor bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Step 3
Stir in ketchup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Add remaining 1 cup water and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid has evaporated and mixture is thick, about 40 minutes.
Step 4
Season with salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper.
