Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef 🥩
- 2 tbsp brown sugar 🍬
- 1 cup water 💧
- 1 cup ketchup 🍅
Instructions:
-
Brown the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Once browned, drain any excess fat from the skillet.
-
-
Add the Flavors: Stir in the Bear Creek onion soup mix, brown sugar, water, and ketchup. This combination of ingredients will infuse the meat with a rich, savory flavor profile complemented by a hint of sweetness.
-
Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. This step helps to meld all the flavors together and create a deliciously thick sauce that coats the meat.
-
Simmer: Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. This simmering process allows the flavors to intensify and the sauce to thicken to the perfect consistency.
-
Serve: Once the Country Sloppy Joes are thick and flavorful, it’s time to serve them up! Spoon the mixture onto hamburger buns and serve hot. You can also add your favorite toppings like cheese, pickles, or lettuce to customize your sandwich to your liking.
