Jaymes Sloppy Joes Recipes

SLOPPY JOE

Steps:

• Put a large sauté pan over a medium heat and crumble in the beef or turkey. Fry until the meat starts to brown then add the bell pepper and onion. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the veggies start to soften - this should take around 5 to 10 minutes.
• When the veggies are tender, add the tomato purée and stir into the meat, then add the vinegar, brown sugar, honey, mustard and chile powder to the pan and give everything a really good stir. Add the beans, season with salt and pepper, then bring to a boil and cook until the sauce is nice and thick.
• To serve: pile the Sloppy Joe mix onto the bottom of a bun or middle of a wrap, top it with lettuce and close up the sandwich or roll up the wrap.
• Serving suggestions: Delicious served with an Everyday chopped green salad or some Brilliant broccoli.
• Jamie's top tips • Look out for ground beef with around 10% fat - if buying turkey, try to buy the best quality you can afford. Don't buy poor-quality turkey mince. If your grocery store has a meat counter you can ask them to grind the meat for you. • This can be made completely ahead of time and reheated just before serving. If you're reheating Sloppy Joes, add water a little bit at a time to loosen. • If you want to give it a bit of a kick add some more chile powder or even a chopped fresh chile.
• Tips from the dietitian: • Sloppy Joe is a real favorite, but for a healthier version, use lean ground turkey instead of beef - the leaner meat is better for the heart. • Rinsing beans removes some of the salt but you can also look for low-sodium or no-salt-added beans.

JJ'S ULTIMATE SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• Brown 1-1/2 lbs ground venison with chopped onion, minced garlic, and red pepper. Drain the fat off ( if any ) and add the all ingredients - honey and cocoa should be added last.
• Stir and simmer for 1/2 hour and taste. If too vinegary, add brown sugar, if too sweet add a little vinegar - add a little at a time to hone in the taste. Serve on fresh-baked potato rolls, although any hamburger type bun will suffice. Garnish with kosher garlic pickle.

SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• Start by browning the ground beef in a large pot over medium-high heat. Drain off the fat.
• Add in the green peppers and onions. Stir, and then add 1 cup water, the ketchup and garlic. Stir it around to combine, and then add the brown sugar, chili powder, dry mustard, red pepper flakes, and hot sauce, Worcestershire, salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine, and then cover and simmer over medium-low heat, about 20 minutes.
• To serve, spread the rolls with the butter and brown them on a griddle or in a skillet. Spoon a good amount of the meat mixture onto the bottom roll, and then top with the other half. Serve with chips, salad or just enjoy it by itself.

THE BEST SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and starting to caramelize in some spots, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon or spatula, until it is browned, no longer pink in the middle and cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, red wine vinegar, paprika, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of black pepper and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened and heated through, 5 to 6 minutes.

SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• In a saucepan over low heat combine the sauce ingredients. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix well, and simmer while preparing the meat.
• Heat a heavy nonstick or cast-iron skillet, at least 10 inches in diameter, over medium-high heat. Add the ground sirloin, and saute, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the meat is no longer pink. Turn the meat into a strainer or colander lined with paper towels, allowing the fat to drain off.
• Add the onion to the pan, and sauté, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent. Return the meat to the pan, and add the sauce. Heat for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and season with salt, pepper or more hot sauce, if desired. Spoon 1/2 cup of the mixture over each bun. Serve immediately.

SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and crumble in the beef mince. Fry for 10 mins, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as you go, stirring until it browns all over. Tip onto a plate. Heat the rest of the oil in the same pan and fry the onion and pepper for 6-8 mins until softened. Sprinkle in the garlic granules, paprika and sugar, then return the mince and any resting juices back into the pan and stir everything together. Sizzle for 1-2 mins to combine.
• Splash in the vinegar, then stir through the ketchup and mustard. Pour over the stock and bring to a simmer, then turn down the heat to low and bubble everything gently for 15-20 mins until the mixture is thick and glossy. Taste and season if needed. To freeze, leave to cool completely, then tip into an airtight container or divide between freezer bags and freeze for up to three months. Defrost thoroughly in the fridge overnight and reheat in a pan until piping hot. Toast the burger buns in a hot pan, then fill with the sloppy joe mixture and top with chilli sauce, if you like.
