Forgive the title; consider it a bad pun. But really, who doesn't love a sloppy Joe? This version is slightly more grown up, with a kick of spice and more vegetables.
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
2 onions, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 carrot, shredded
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
8 ounces tomato sauce
1 tablespoon mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Cayenne to taste
Red pepper flakes to taste
salt, pepper, oil
Sourdough, toasted
Method:
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the onions, carrots, and mushrooms with 1 tablespoon oil Cook until the onions are translucent, about 10 minutes.
Add 1 teaspoon salt, paprika, cayenne and red pepper flakes to taste, and the garlic; cook about 1 minute, until fragrant. Remove the vegetables to a bowl and set aside.
Add the ground beef; break apart with wooden spoon. Cook until no longer pink and the meat is slightly browned. Add back the veggies and Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard; cook for 2 minutes until thoroughly combined.
Add the tomato sauce; bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Let thicken for 5-10 minutes.
Serve sloppy Joseph's on top of toasted sourdough bread with a side salad of arugula, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes (if desired). Try topping with cheese!
