Brown Meat and Onions:
- In a large skillet, heat the lean ground beef and diced onion over medium-high heat. Cook until the meat is browned and the onions are tender, stirring occasionally.
-
-
Drain Excess Fat:
- Once the meat is fully cooked, carefully pour off any excess fat from the skillet.
-
Add Sauce Mixture:
- To the skillet, add the ketchup, chili sauce, mustard, cider vinegar, and sugar. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
-
Simmer:
- Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer, uncovered, for about 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
-
Serve:
- Once the Sloppy Joe mixture has thickened to your liking, spoon it onto the hamburger buns and serve hot.
Tips:
- For added flavor, try using a combination of ground beef and ground pork or turkey.
- Customize the sweetness and tanginess of the sauce by adjusting the amounts of ketchup, sugar, and cider vinegar to suit your taste preferences.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat before serving.
- Serve with a side of crispy potato chips or a refreshing salad for a complete meal.
