Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 1 large green bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 large onion, diced
- 1 1/2 cups ketchup
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons chili powder, or more as needed
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more as needed
- Hot sauce, such as Tabasco
- Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 kaiser rolls
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- Chips or salad, for serving, if desired
Directions
Start by browning the ground beef in a large pot over medium-high heat. Drain off the fat.
Add in the green peppers and onions. Stir, and then add 1 cup water, the ketchup and garlic. Stir it around to combine, and then add the brown sugar, chili powder, dry mustard, red pepper flakes, and hot sauce, Worcestershire, salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine, and then cover and simmer over medium-low heat, about 20 minutes.
To serve, spread the rolls with the butter and brown them on a griddle or in a skillet. Spoon a good amount of the meat mixture onto the bottom roll, and then top with the other half. Serve with chips, salad or just enjoy it by itself.

I've been making this recipe off her blog for over a year. I noticed the FOod network recipe doesn't call for the water (or I am missing it. Great recipe, my kids LOVE it.

My family liked the sloppy joes. Much better than a can but a little too sweet for my family. Maybe served with a savory side to even it out would be better. Not saying they are bad, just too sweet for our taste.

I've been making Rachel Ray's Super Sloppy Joes for years and have permanently given up canned stuff. I saw this recipe on PW's website and I wanted to give it a try. I tried it because I had more meat to use than RR's recipe and didn't have tomato paste which is an ingredient for the recipe. The bottom line is that PW's recipe is every bit as good as RR's and I now have 2 'go to' sloppy joe recipes.
