This has been a favorite of ours since I first tried it several years ago. I came across this recipe in a Southern Living magazine, so I can't take credit for this awesomeness. I was able to dig up the original recipe online here.
Cheesy BBQ Sloppy Joes
Makes: about 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
- 1 (14.5oz) can petite diced tomatoes
- 1 C ketchup
- 1/2 C BBQ sauce (we often use Sweet Baby Ray's or whatever's open)
- 1 T Worcestershire sauce
- 2 T chopped jalapenos, from jar
- 1 T juice from jar of jalapenos
- garlic texas toast (1-2 slices per serving, depending on the size of the toast)
- shredded cheddar cheese, for topping
Brown ground beef in large skillet; drain grease. Stir in tomatoes, ketchup, BBQ sauce, Worchestershire sauce, jalapenos, and jalapeno juice. Cover and simmer about 10 minutes, until sauce has thickened. While sauce is cooking, prepare texas toast. Serve sauce mixture over texas toast and sprinkle cheese on top.
This is a good "grown up" version of Sloppy Joes that packs a lot of flavor. The jalapenos add some spiciness, but you can adjust to your personal preference. (I love it spicy!) Combining with the garlic toast and cheese is what really seals the deal, though. Be warned, this recipe is so "sloppy" that it just needs to be eaten with a fork!
(Note: I tried to double the recipe once, but it was difficult to get the sauce to thicken up right with more in the pan.)
