Jeff's Sloppy Joes

Jeff's Sloppy Joes bring a hearty, tangy bite thanks to chili sauce, red wine vinegar, and a hint of brown sugar, with Italian sausage adding savory depth to the ground beef. Sautéed onions, peppers, celery, and oregano round out the flavor, making a saucy, satisfying filling. Ideal for a casual lunch or weeknight dinner piled onto soft buns.

Jeff's Sloppy Joes
  1. 1

    Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, green bell pepper, celery, and oregano. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until the onion is tender. Move this mixture to a plate and set aside for later.

  2. 2

    Using the same skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and sausage and cook, stirring, for 10 minutes, or until well browned. Stir in the reserved onion mixture, chili sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar and mix thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
