Recipe Summary Chef John's Sloppy Joes

The secret to a great 'Sloppy Joe' is a thick, rich, almost dry consistency, which allows it to be eaten two-fisted, sans fork.

Ingredients | Cuñapes San Javier

1 ½ pounds extra lean ground beef

½ onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 green bell pepper, diced

1 cup water

¾ cup ketchup

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 dash Worcestershire sauce

1 ½ teaspoons salt, or to taste

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 cup water

1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

Directions

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.
