Bacon Cheeseburger Sloppy Joes are a delightful twist on the classic sloppy joe sandwich, combining the flavors of a bacon cheeseburger with the convenience of a sloppy joe. Here’s a simple recipe to try:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 6 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 slices of cheese (cheddar or American work well)
Instructions:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet with the onions, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- Drain any excess grease from the skillet, if necessary.
- Stir in the ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and cooked bacon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- While the mixture is simmering, toast the hamburger buns.
- Once the sloppy joe mixture is ready, spoon it onto the bottom half of each hamburger bun. Top with a slice of cheese and cover with the top half of the bun.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Bacon Cheeseburger Sloppy Joes!
