Description
The perfect combinations of maple and bourbon simmer together to create a delicious take on the Sloppy Joe!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound of ground beef
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
- salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 (8 oz) cans tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup (use a good quality and not the imitation)
- 1 shot of your favorite bourbon (we use Maker’s Mark)
- burger buns
- chopped red onions to garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, brown up your ground beef in a drizzle of EVOO until it’s crumbly. Stir in a nice pinch of both salt and pepper along with your garlic powder.
- Next, stir in your tomato sauce, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce and maple syrup. Bring everything up to a simmer and then stir in your bourbon. Reduce your heat to medium and allow your Sloppy Joes to simmer together about 10 minutes.
- When you’re ready to eat, add a burger bun to each plate along with a scoop of Sloppy Joe mixture and then garnish with a bit of chopped red onions.
- You can eat these open-faced or with a top bun like a sandwich.
Notes
We are a gluten-free house, so we sub our burger buns for ones that are g-free. Our favorite brand is Trader Joe’s Gluten-Free Buns (when they’re available!).
