Description
Cheesy and savory Sloppy Joe sliders, perfect for game day or family dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 15 oz can of tomato sauce
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar (or to taste)
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- ½ tsp fine sea salt (or to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- 1 cup freshly grated marble cheese
- 9 slider buns
Instructions
- Make the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the tomato sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Set aside for later.
- Cook the Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant (30 to 60 seconds). Add the ground beef and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it up until it’s no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
- Season the Mixture: Sprinkle in salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine flavors.
- Simmer the Sauce: Add the prepared sauce to the beef mixture in the skillet. Stir and bring to a light boil. Lower heat and let simmer uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.
- Add the Cheese: Stir in the grated marble cheese until melted and creamy.
- Assemble the Sliders: Toast slider buns until golden brown. Spoon the hot Sloppy Joe mixture onto the bottom halves and top with the bun lids.
- Optional: Brush garlic butter on tops of the buns before warming in the oven.
Notes
Adjust sweetness with brown sugar. For a healthier option, use ground turkey or chicken. Add veggies for extra nutrients.
