Big Mac Sloppy Joes
Who doesn’t crave that saucy, cheesy comfort of a classic Sloppy Joe with a homemade Big Mac twist? This recipe combines ground beef simmered in tangy Special Sauce, piled high on toasted hamburger buns, layered with American cheese and crisp dill pickles.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds ground beef 80/20 mix for juiciness; leaner beef works, too
- 1 medium yellow onion finely chopped
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 6 slices American cheese
- Dill pickle slices for topping
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until no pink remains. Drain excess fat.
- Cook onion and bell pepper until softened. Stir in garlic.
- Stir ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce into the beef-veggie mixture. Simmer until the sauce thickens.
- Place a slice of American cheese over each portion of sloppy joe in the skillet to melt.
- Toast buns under the broiler until lightly golden.
- Spoon beef onto bottom buns. Top with dill pickle slices and top buns.
- Enjoy these sloppy joes straight away.
Notes
Tested with various ground-to-vegetable ratios for the richest flavor. Adjust brown sugar for more tang. Let the sauce simmer longer for a thicker texture.
