Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 lb | Lean ground beef |
| 1 | Onion |
| 2 cloves | Garlic |
| 1 can (4 oz) | Black olives |

| 1 1/2 tsp | Cumin |

Instructions:
-
Preparation: Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients and equipment. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
-
Cooking the Meat Mixture: In a non-stick frying pan over high heat, combine the lean ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook, stirring often, until the beef is well browned and crumbled, creating a flavorful base for your Sloppy Joes.
-
Adding Flavor: To the pan, add the marinara sauce, sliced black olives, chopped green onions, hot sauce (adjust to your desired level of spiciness), and cumin. These ingredients will infuse the meat mixture with rich, savory flavors that will make your Sloppy Joes irresistible.
-
Simmering: Reduce the heat to medium and let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, until it starts bubbling, about 5 to 6 minutes. This simmering process allows the flavors to meld together beautifully, resulting in a deliciously thick and hearty sauce.
-
Seasoning: Taste the mixture and add salt as needed to enhance the flavors. Remember, a little salt goes a long way, so start with a small amount and adjust to your preference.
-
Keeping Warm: Once the meat sauce is ready, keep it warm on the stove while you prepare the sandwich rolls.
-
Toasting the Rolls: Cut the sandwich rolls in half horizontally and arrange them on the prepared baking pan. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the rolls are lightly toasted and golden brown.
-
Assembly: Once the rolls are toasted to perfection, it’s time to assemble your Sloppy Joes! Spoon generous amounts of the meat sauce onto each roll, making sure to distribute it evenly. Top with the other half of the roll and press gently to seal.
-
Serving: Serve your Sloppy Joes Ole immediately while they’re still warm and gooey. These delicious sandwiches are sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike, making them perfect for quick lunches, snacks, or even weeknight dinners.
