Sloppy Joes Pumped Up Food

SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, using your hands, mash the beef with the baking soda. Let it sit on the counter for 20 to 25 minutes to tenderize.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F and set a rack in the middle position.
• Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until bubbling. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Add the beef, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, and dry mustard and cook, breaking up meat with wooden spoon, until mostly brown, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, butter the inside of the buns and place on a baking sheet, butter side up. Toast in the oven until warmed through and lightly crispy, about 5 minutes.
• Taste the sloppy Joe mixture and adjust seasonings. (If you like your Sloppy Joes sweet, feel free to add 1 teaspoon of brown sugar.) Spoon the mixture onto the toasted hamburger buns and serve.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The meat mixture can be frozen for up to 3 months and reheated in the microwave om on the stovetop until hot.

SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• Start by browning the ground beef in a large pot over medium-high heat. Drain off the fat.
• Add in the green peppers and onions. Stir, and then add 1 cup water, the ketchup and garlic. Stir it around to combine, and then add the brown sugar, chili powder, dry mustard, red pepper flakes, and hot sauce, Worcestershire, salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine, and then cover and simmer over medium-low heat, about 20 minutes.
• To serve, spread the rolls with the butter and brown them on a griddle or in a skillet. Spoon a good amount of the meat mixture onto the bottom roll, and then top with the other half. Serve with chips, salad or just enjoy it by itself.

SLOPPY JOE'S (PUMPED UP)

Steps:

• Add to a cast Iron Dutch oven a splash of olive oil. Season the Bone-in short ribs with salt and pepper and sere for 2-3 minutes on each side, we are looking for some char here so don't panic. Remove to a paper towel lined cooling dish. At this point you can preheat your oven to 325.
• Now let's layer some flavors for the sauce. In the same pot add the onions and garlic; allow these to sweat for 3-4 minutes or until glossy. Add the Smoked Paprika, Chili Powder, Cumin and Coriander; cook this for about 2 minutes until it smells fragrant. Add the tomato paste, let this bubble until slightly browned 2-3 minutes; this will give us a nice earthy smoke flavored sauce. Next, add the Cola and Beer (there will be extra beer you know what to do) add the Ketchup and the soy sauce and bring to a simmer until it thickens up, around 3-5 minutes.
• Now it's time to put the Ribs back inches Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer for about 5 minutes. Put the lid on that bad boy and slide it into the oven for 3 hours. What emerges from the oven will be molten tender goodness. Pull the ribs form the lava mixture and allow to cool a bit then shred ala pulled pork. At this point it is a good idea to spoon out some of the fat that has rendered from the beef. Place the shredded Beef back into the Dutch oven, bring to a simmer and serve with your favorite roll and coleslaw if desired.

THE ULTIMATE SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• Set a heavy-based pot over medium-high heat and add a 3-count of olive oil. Add onions and saute for 2 to 3 minutes until translucent. Add ground turkey, season well with salt and pepper and brown well all over, breaking it up with a wooden spoon - about 7 to 10 minutes. Add ketchup, mustard, cayenne, brown sugar and tomato paste. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes. Finish with a splash of red wine vinegar and season it once more before serving on parker rolls with Homemade Bread and Butter Pickles.
• Wash cucumbers, slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds, and place in a heated, sterilized mason jar with horseradish and fresh dill weed.
• Set a large pot over medium heat and add vinegar, sugar, water, garlic and pickling spices. Bring the brine to a boil then pour over cucumbers and horseradish in still-hot mason jar and seal lid. Allow to cool to room temperature before refrigerating. You can serve once chilled, but for best flavor serve after the pickles have been left overnight.
