Cheesy Sloppy Joes

Cheesy Sloppy Joes



Prep Time: 15 Min

Cook Time: 15 - 20 Min

​ 

1. Whisk together the vegetable stock and corn starch, set aside.

 

1. Begin heating the EVOO in a large frying pan set to just below medium heat. Once heated, add the pepper flakes, onion, celery, and bell pepper along with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Stir and cook 5 minutes until veggies have cooked down.

 

1. Make a well in the center of the pan and drop in the beyond beef. Break apart the beef as best you can to start, as it cooks it will be easier to break down. Cook a couple of minutes before breaking up again and flipping to give some browning to the other side of the beef for another 2 minutes. Stir everything together and continue cooking for 2 – 3 minutes.

 

1. Stir in the tomato paste, chili powder, onion and garlic powders, cumin, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, ketchup, and the vegetable stock with corn starch. Season with sea salt & pepper before reducing the heat a little and allowing this joe mixture to simmer for 5 minutes.

 

1. In the meantime, toast the bottoms of the buns. This will prevent them from getting soggy. (You may also toast both the top and the bottom, I preferred a fluffy top.)

 

1. Set the oven to BROIL 500 F

 

1. Taste the sloppy joe mixture and adjust salt if desired. Spoon the sloppy mixture on to the bottoms of the buns and place them on a baking sheet. Lay 3 slices of old cheddar on each of the sloppy joes and place them into the oven.

 

1. Broil until cheese is melty. (Watch carefully so they do not burn.

 

1. For service, sprinkle over some of the fresh green onions, place the tops on, and ENJOY!
