Sloppy Joe: The Messy Comic Relief

Now, let’s meet the flamboyant and slightly chaotic friend of the group: Sloppy Joe. He’s that one friend who can’t walk straight after one too many hotdogs, but we love him dearly anyway! Sloppy Joes are all about that sweet, tangy sauce soaked into a bun, resulting in a delightful mess. If you don’t end up with sauce on your shirt, did you even really have a Sloppy Joe?

Recipe Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 burger buns

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and onion over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink. Drain the excess fat, because nobody wants to swim in greasy beef, am I right?
  2. Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes. This is the time for the flavors to get cozy and become the best of friends!
  4. While that magic happens, toast your burger buns until golden, as everyone deserves a beautiful bed to lay their beef on!
  5. Once everything has cooked, pile a generous helping of that ground beef deliciousness onto each bun. Go on, don’t be shy!
  6. Serve hot and prepare for the glorious messiness that will ensue. Dive in and enjoy—just make sure you have napkins at the ready!

So there you have it! The delicious difference between Ground Beef Barbecue and Sloppy Joes! Whether you fancy a neat BBQ rendition that makes you feel like a grill master or prefer the wildly messy and delightful chaos of a Sloppy Joe, one thing is for sure—you’re in for a treat!
