Rhode Island Dynamite Sandwiches

Rhode Island Dynamite Sandwiches deliver a punchy, pepper-forward beef filling nestled in soft torpedo rolls, bringing heat from red pepper flakes balanced by sweet onions and tomato richness. It’s a bold, saucy handheld that feels like a spicier cousin to a Sloppy Joe, perfect for game day gatherings, casual dinners, or feeding a crowd.

Rhode Island Dynamite Sandwiches
  1. 1

    Place the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the green pepper, red pepper, yellow onion, and red onion to the skillet, and cook until the meat is evenly browned and the vegetables are tender. Drain the excess grease from the pan.

  2. 2

    Transfer the mixture to a slow cooker, and stir in tomato paste, water, and red pepper flakes. Cover and cook on Low for at least 4 hours.

  3. 3

    I usually let it cook for 12 hours.

  4. 4

    The longer it simmers, the spicier it becomes.

  5. 5

    Spoon into torpedo rolls and serve.
