Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) olive oil
• 1 Cup yellow onion, minced
• 2 Whole garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 Cup green bell pepper, minced
• 1 Stalk celery, minced
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) dried oregano
• 1 Pound (lb) ground beef
• 0.5 Pound (lb) Italian sausage
• 12 Fluid Ounces (fl oz) chili sauce
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) red wine vinegar
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) Worcestershire sauce
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) brown sugar
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste

Steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced onion, minced garlic, minced green bell pepper, minced celery, and dried oregano. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes tender and translucent. Transfer this mixture to a plate and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef and Italian sausage. Cook for about 10 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spatula, until it is well browned and cooked through.
3. Return the reserved vegetable mixture to the skillet. Stir in the chili sauce, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
4. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. Serve the sloppy joe mixture on your favorite style buns. For an extra kick, consider adding a dash of hot pepper sauce. Enjoy your zesty Italian sausage and beef sloppy joes!
