I know there are tons of sloppy joe recipes to be found, many on the spicy side. This is more of a kid friendly, slightly sweet version of a classic dish. I personally think it requires some sort of fry as a side, sweet potato fries were my choice for dinner tonight.
This easily makes a hearty 6 sandwiches.
2 lbs Ground Chuck
1 Medium Onion, diced
1 Carrot, peeled and diced
1 Garlic Clove, minced
2 Cans of Tomato Sauce, no salt added (8oz cans)
1 Can Tomato Paste (6oz)
2 Tbsps Worcestershire Sauce
1 Tbsp Yellow Mustard
1/4 Cup Light Brown Sugar (dark is fine too)
Whole Grain Hamburger Buns
In a large skillet over medium heat place a dollop of olive oil. Let the pan heat through and then add the onion, carrot and meat. Let the meat start to brown a little and then add the garlic. Once the meat browns nearly all over, drain some of the liquid from the pan and then return to the heat. Add the tomato sauce and paste, stir well. Add the Worcestershire, mustard and brown sugar. Let the mixture simmer on medium low heat for a good 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Stir occasionally. Serve on the hamburger buns and enjoy.
