SCOTT ELLEY'S SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• Divide the meatloaf mix between 2 large commercial-size pots and brown the meat for 3-5 minutes under a high flame. Drain most of the fat, leaving a little in for seasoning. Add the Worcestershire Sauce and mix well. Divide the onions and peppers between the 2 pots, add salt and crush 1 tablespoon of the oregano between your hands into each pot. Divide the garlic between the two pots and stir everything together. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1/2 gallon of barbeque sauce to each pot, cover and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes.
• Heat the olive oil in 2 large frying pans, add the sausages and cook for about 5 to 8 minutes, until no longer pink. Drain any fat from the sausages. Add the sausages from each frying pan to the pots of barbeque meatloaf mixture, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for about an hour. Serve over hamburger buns.

CHEF JOHN'S SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• Combine the ground beef and onion in a cold skillet, place the skillet onto a stove burner, and turn the heat to medium; cook and stir until the beef is crumbly and browned. Stir the garlic and bell pepper into the beef mixture; continue cooking and stirring until the vegetables are tender, 2 to 3 more minutes. Add 1 cup of water. Mix in ketchup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper. Pour in 1 more cup of water. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook until the mixture becomes very thick, 30 to 45 minutes. Adjust salt and pepper as needed. Season with cayenne.

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.
