Sloppy Joes

By Ellie Krieger

Servings: eight.

These Sloppy Joes are everything you could wish for in this crowd-pleasing sandwich—a rich, meaty filling smothered in tangy-sweet, thick tomato sauce that just refuses to stay inside the bun. You definitely need a fork and a few napkins to eat this mouthwatering meal!

This recipe is excerpted from The Food You Crave by Ellie Krieger. Learn more here.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. lean or extra-lean (90% lean or higher) ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced (about 1-1/2 cups)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced (about 4 tsp.)
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and diced (about 1 cup)
  • One 15.5-oz. can small red or pinto beans, preferably low-sodium, drained and rinsed
  • 1-1/2 cups no-salt-added tomato sauce
  • 2 Tbs. tomato paste
  • 1 Tbs. red wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbs. unsulfured molasses
  • 1 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp. dry mustard
  • 3/4 tsp. salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 8 whole-wheat burger buns

Preparation

  • Brown the meat and onion in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, breaking up the meat into crumbles as it cooks. Pour the drippings out of the pan and discard. Add the garlic, jalapeño, and red pepper and cook 5 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Stir in the rest of the ingredients, except the buns, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for another 5 minutes.
  • Place a 1/2-cup scoop of the mixture onto each bun and serve.

    Wonderful recipe. Sloppy Joes can sometimes be too sweet, but Fine Cooking has found just the perfect balance. Would definitely recommend this one!!

    This recipe is outstanding as written. And the leftovers are great. I use brioche buns which are great.
