Sloppy Joes

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• 1 tablespoon jalapeño, finely minced (optional)
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/8 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
• Dash of cayenne
• 1 package hamburger buns
• Butter

Directions

In a large measuring cup, mix together the ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and spices; set aside. In a large skillet over high heat, sauté the beef. When it has browned, pour off most of the fat and then add in the onions, garlic, and jalapeño and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Turn the heat down to low, and the sauce and cook for 10 minutes.

Split buns and lightly butter them and place face side down on a hot griddle or large skillet. Allow to toast until lightly golden. Just a little extra goodness and the toasting helps hold the sloppy meat mixture.

Divide the mixture among the buns and serve.
