Sloppy Joe Mamas Recipes

HOMEMADE SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, onion and garlic until the meat is no longer pink. Drain.
• Whisk together the remaining ingredients to make the sauce. Add to the skillet with the beef, onion and garlic.
• Simmer uncovered over low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring regularly, until the mixture reaches desired consistency. You can keep the skillet covered if you like the sauce "sloppier." If the sauce is too thick, gradually stir in a small amount of warm water or beef broth. If the sauce is too thin, gradually sift in a small amount of flour while stirring vigorously to thicken.

Steps:

• In frying pan, brown ground beef til no longer pink, breaking up into very small pieces as you cook. (If you leave it in larger pieces/chunks, the meat won't all get coated as much, and won't be as good. Will also fall off the bun more easily.).
• Drain grease.
• Add rest of ingredients, stir well to mix.
• Simmer over low heat for 20 minutes or so, stirring ocaisionally.
• Serve on warmed hamburger buns.
• *If using as a bbq sauce, simmer ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring ocaisionally. Grill meat (chicken, etc.) til just done. Baste well with sauce and cook 3-5 minutes longer. Turning and basting.
• If baking instead of grilling, the bbq-style sauce can be added to the raw meat and baked the entire time at 350 degrees til done.
