How to Make Sloppy Joes | Easy Recipe, So Good! 🤩

Welcome to Marie's kitchen, today we're making Sloppy Joes.

Start by cutting the onion: slice off the end, cut it in half, peel the papery layer, and dice it into small pieces.

Next, cut the green bell pepper: slice off one side to see the seeds, cut around the seeds, and then dice it into bite-sized pieces.

Add the diced onion and bell pepper into a bowl.

Heat a large pan on medium to medium-high heat and add olive oil.

Add the onions and bell peppers to the pan and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.

Open a jar of Tangy barbecue sauce to use instead of making sauce from scratch.

Once the onions and peppers are cooked, add salt to taste and then add 1 lb of ground beef to the pan.

Cook the ground beef, chopping it into small pieces as it browns.

While the beef is cooking, prepare pink pickled onions: slice a red onion into thin rings.

Pour leftover pickle juice into a shallow pot and add the sliced red onion.

Bring the pickle juice to a boil, then turn off the heat and let the onions sit in the hot juice to soften and color.

After the ground beef is browned, add the cooked onions and bell peppers back into the pan with the beef.

Pour about 1 cup of barbecue sauce into the beef and vegetable mixture and stir well.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of Garam masala to elevate the flavor of the Sloppy Joes.

Reduce the heat and let everything combine and cook together.
