Classic Sloppy Joe Recipe - Everyday Food with Sarah Carey

today i'm making a classic favorite sloppy joes have you ever made sloppy joes and if you have have you ever made them from scratch it's really actually quite easy start off by cutting up some onion and garlic i have one onion and two cloves of garlic get them really finely minced because you're going to be cooking it together with ground meat which doesn't take very long and it's also well pretty fine as well i say this a lot but it's really true if you have a sharp knife you're going to have a much easier time in the kitchen and when a recipe calls for a minced onion you're actually going to be able to mince oh that is a strong onion guys my eyes hurt two garlic cloves also minced start by crushing them and then chop across the garlic cloves until they're as fine as they can be to cook heat a tablespoon of a neutral flavored oil like a canola or safflower oil in a large skillet and you can add your onion and garlic also add a stalk of celery that's been diced and half of a green bell pepper i know a lot of people have have been brought up on eating sloppy joes that are made from a flavoring packet and a lot of the flavorings that are in the flavoring packet are dehydrated versions of all of the things that i just added to my skillet we're just using them fresh a little bit of salt and pepper if your vegetables are really finely diced it won't take long for them to become translucent and you can add your beef i have a pound of ground beef cook the meat until it loses its pinkness this is looking good now i can add my flavoring slash sauce components quarter cup of ketchup i know but it's really important because it adds tanginess and tomatoes and there's all those spices that are cooked into ketchup and it adds sweetness too one can of tomato sauce and a tablespoon of worcestershire sauce this is going to add a lot of great depth of flavor and there you have it it just needs to cook until it reduces and thickens and comes together as one that'll take six to eight minutes so looks nice and reduced and thickened give it a taste no it's actually really good it doesn't mean anything serve your homemade sloppy joes on toasted bun if you want to get healthy you can serve it with a salad sloppy joe's from scratch at home better than the box i guarantee it you
