Spring Hill Ranch's Sloppy Joe and Sloppy José image

The only day of the week there was an even vaguely good reason to attend junior high school was Thursday, That's when they served sloppy Joes in the cafeteria! It wasn't 'til a few years ago that I found a recipe close to the one they used and with just a little adjustment it was spot-on! So then I couldn't leave well enough...

1 c (about 1 medium) finely chopped green bell pepper
1 1/2 lb ground beef (80/20)
1 c ketchup
2 Tbsp prepared yellow mustard (not the fancy stuff!)
1 Tbsp cider vinegar
1 Tbsp dark brown sugar (light/golden brown sugar is okay)
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp kosher salt
TO MAKE THIS INTO SLOPPY JOSéS:
2 medium new mexico green chiles, roasted, peeled and diced or 1 7-ounce can of diced green chiles
1 medium jalapeño chile, seeds and veins removed, diced

FOR SERVING:
4 split and toasted sandwich buns; or
8 fresh 8" flour tortillas; or
4 large baked potatoes

Steps:

  • 1. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the canola oil. Add the onion, and green pepper. Cook until slightly softened. Add the ground beef. Cook until the beef is browned, and drain off the excess grease.
  • 2. Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, stir together ketchup, vinegar, mustard, brown sugar, ground cloves, and salt.
  • 3. For Sloppy Josés, mix the green chiles, jalapeño, hot pepper sauce, oregano and cumin into the ketchup mixture.
  • 4. Stir the ketchup (or ketchup/chile) mixture into the browned beef mixture. Cover the pan and simmer it for 30 minutes.
  • 5. Serve it up either open-faced or closed-faced on the buns, wrapped in flour tortillas or over hot baked potatoes.

Sloppy joes are my favorite comfort food. This recipe is one of the best I've tried. The sauce is perfectly tangy and the meat is fall-apart tender.

I followed the recipe exactly and my sloppy joes turned out terrible. The sauce was watery and the meat was tough.

These sloppy joes were just okay. The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste and the meat was a little dry.

I've tried many sloppy joe recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The combination of beef, pork, and sausage gives the sloppy joes a really hearty and flavorful taste.

This sloppy joe recipe is a keeper! It's so easy to make and the flavor is amazing. I especially love the addition of the brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce. It gives the sloppy joes a really rich and tangy flavor.
