Each of us has a Sloppy Joe recipe that’s the best. I’d love to argue that my mom’s is the best and to see if that’s true, I think you’ll have to make this version. What’s great about Sloppy Joes is their sweet and tangy sauce that creates the perfect balance of sloppiness, all packaged into one delicious sandwich.
INGREDIENTS
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 lb ground pork
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tsp yellow mustard
• 1/2 cup tomato juice
• 3/4 cup ketchup
INSTRUCTIONS
• In a 4-quart saucepan, heat 1 tbsp of neutral oil over medium heat. Add the onion, ground beef, and ground pork. Cook and break the meat into small pieces until it is evenly browned and cooked through, 6-8 minutes. Once the meat is cooked, check for any extra liquid in the bottom of the saucepan. If there is liquid, continue to cook until it is dry, or pour it off and discard.
• Sprinkle the flour and salt over the cooked meat and stir to combine. Cook the flour over medium-low for one minute to remove any raw flavor.
• Once cooked, remove the mixture from the heat and add the salt, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, tomato juice, and ketchup. Stir to incorporate evenly and return the mixture to medium heat. Stir and cook the Sloppy Joes over medium heat until the mixture tightens and warms through, 4-6 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the heat and serve.
