Sloppy Joe

 

1 tablespoon of olive oil

1 1/4 pounds of lean ground beef

1/4 cup of dark brown sugar

1 tablespoon of Montreal seasoning

1 medium chopped onion

1 small bell pepper (Red)

1 tablespoon of red wine

2 cups of tomato sauce (puree)

2 tablespoons of tomato paste (none seasoned)

1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce

 

 

In a deep pan, cook over medium heat, add the olive oil and ground beef to the pan.  Use a large fork to mix and break the meat up. Add in the brown sugar and Montreal seasoning and combine well. Once your meat is browned, add the onions, and red pepper to the pan.  Lower your heat and cook the onions, peppers, add the red wine and Worcestershire sauce to the meat and cook for 10 minutes.

 

Add the tomato sauce and paste to the pan, and stir well to combine and season the entire mixture, and reduce to a simmer and cook for another 10 minutes.

 

This mixture can be spooned onto hamburger buns or a crusty roll, or over cooked rice of even a pasta of you choice.
