Instructions
-
Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Continue cooking until the beef is browned and no longer pink, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, drain off any excess fat.
-
-
Combine Ingredients: Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the Sloppy Joes seasoning mix, tomato sauce, ketchup, and the chopped green chilies. Ensure that all ingredients are well combined, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
-
Add Beans: Incorporate the drained pinto beans into the skillet. Gently stir until the beans are fully integrated into the mixture.
-
Simmer: Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes. This step not only warms the beans but also enhances the overall flavor as it cooks.
-
Prepare to Serve: Once the mixture is heated through and bubbling, remove the lid. To serve, scoop generous portions of the Sloppy Joes mixture onto the hamburger buns.
-
Garnish: For an extra kick, shake on a few dashes of Tabasco sauce to taste. Top with a handful of shredded cheddar cheese for a deliciously creamy finish.
-
Enjoy: This recipe yields enough for 8 servings, making it perfect for a family meal or gatherings with friends. Each bite is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
Notes

- Feel free to customize the heat level by adjusting the amount of Tabasco sauce, or consider adding diced jalapeños for an even spicier experience.
