Servings: 6
Calories: 409kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
- 1 small white onion finely diced
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 3/4 cup ketchup
- 1/3 cup dill pickle relish
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 6 fluffy hamburger buns
- 6 slices American cheese
Instructions
- Add the beef and onion to a large skillet set over medium high heat. Season with salt & pepper, to taste. Cook, breaking up the beef and stirring, until all the beef's browned throughout. Strain off the excess grease.
- Return the skillet to heat, add the garlic to the beef, and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the skillet, and stir to evenly combine. Reduce the heat to medium low and allow the mixture to simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Open buns and add a slice of cheese to each bottom bun. Divide the sloppy joe filling evenly out between all the sandwiches. Add the top buns to close.
- Serve & enjoy!
Notes
- If you are using fattier ground beef, use 2 pounds instead of just a pound and a half.
- You can sub ground turkey for the ground beef to shave off some fat and calories.
- For sturdier buns (and less sloppy, sloppy joes)- toast the buns before adding the cheese and meat mixture.
- To get more of the traditional cheeseburger experience you can add toppings like lettuce, sliced tomato, pickles and anything else you like on your burgers.
