Southwestern Sloppy Joes image

Our Chopped Dinner Challenge this week was chorizo. We decided to give the basic sloppy joe a Mexican spin using chorizo instead of ground beef, but keep the sloppiness that everyone loves. Chopped Basket Ingredient: chorizo

Categories     main-dish

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound fresh tomatoes or one 16 ounce can of tomatoes in juice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 1/2 pounds fresh Mexican chorizo, casings removed
1/2 cup Mexican beer
3 to 4 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapenos
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
4 sandwich rolls
Sour cream and chopped fresh cilantro for serving

Steps:

  • Puree the tomatoes in a blender until smooth.
  • Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium high heat until melted and bubbling then stir in the onion, pepper, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add chorizo, stirring to break up lumps, and cook until browned, about 6 minutes. Add the pureed tomatoes, beer, jalapenos, Worcestershire, and sugar, and boil until the sauce has thickened, 14 to 18 minutes. Remove from heat and season with salt. Serve with sour cream and cilantro on rolls.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sloppy joes turned out dry andflavorless.

I found the recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and it turned out much better.

These sloppy joes were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them.

I'm not a huge fan of sloppy joes, but I really enjoyed these. The chipotle peppers added a nice smoky flavor.

I made these sloppy joes in my slow cooker and they turned out great. The meat was fall-apart tender and the sauce was flavorful.

I wasn't sure about the addition of corn and black beans, but I'm glad I tried it. They added a nice sweetness and texture to the dish.

I've tried many sloppy joe recipes, but this one is by far the best. The combination of spices is perfect.
