Modern Sloppy Joes

Need a quick meal that the entire family will love, then this Sloppy Joe recipe is your ticket. Making this recipe will instruct you on how to properly reduce sauce, which will come in handy for thousands of other dishes. It only requires half an hour to prepare and it will be well worth it.

Ingredients:

2lbs. Ground Chuck
20 oz. canned tomatoes, blended
1 Large yellow onion, diced
3 Garlic cloves, minced
5 Baby carrots, finely chopped
2 tbsp. oil
1 tbsp. Brown sugar
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. Cumin
1 tsp. Chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Kaiser rolls, preferable

Preparation:

Chop the onion, carrots, and garlic and sauté in a pan with oil over medium-high heat until all components are soft and the onions are clear. Meanwhile, cook the beef in a separate pan until almost completely cooked. Then add the vegetables, tomatoes, cumin, and chili powder to the meat. Stir for 1 minute over medium heat. Add the rest of the ingredients and set over medium-low heat until the sauce begins to reduce, about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally. If the sauce boils, lower the heat. When it is done, the sloppy joes should be in a sauce that is much thicker and darker. Place meat on the Kaiser rolls and serve.

I tried this recipe over the weekend and substituted venison for the ground beef. It was very tasty and, if you have venison available, I would recommend giving it a try.

I made this for my kids and they just loved it! It was so easy to make, and pretty healthy for them too.

I tried this recipe this past weekend and it was very good. It was not particularly time consuming and my family all liked it. The only change I made was to use softer rolls than kaiser, I'm not a fan of kaiser rolls. They worked fine

Glad I found this recipe, I'm going to try it, sounds pretty good. I think I'll try it but would alter it a ittle by adding some shallots and maybe some cilantro

I made the Sloppy Joes and they came out very good. For the beef, I drained the meat after cooking, before continuing on, and that worked out fine.

Can't wait to make this for the family. I wonder if I can sneak this healthy alternative past my mother!!

that recipe sounds so easy. I don't cook a lot, but I think I can handle this one. I'd also add some extra hot sauce after it's cooked.

I made this awhile ago and it was delicious -- as well as quick and easy. Follow it up with the chocolate mousse!
