Sloppy Joes
Serves 4
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 1/4 pounds lean ground beef
- 2 cups jar pasta sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 12 tablespoons dark brown sugar, to taste
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 burger buns, toasted
In a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and red pepper and sauté until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté 1 minute more, stirring occasionally. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a fork, until no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Add the pasta sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt and pepper and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer over low heat and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes more. Spoon the mixture onto the toasted hamburger buns.
