-- RECIPE --
▪1lb/.5kg 80/20 ground beef
▪1g or 1/4tsp baking soda
▪100g or 1 large or 2 small poblano peppers small diced
▪150g or 1 large yellow or white onion, small diced
▪Olive oil
▪5g or 1tsp salt
▪5g or 1 1/2tsp onion powder
▪5g or 1tsp garlic powder
▪2g or 1tsp black pepper
▪5g or 1 3/4tsp paprika
▪Pinch of Chile flakes
▪10g or 1 1/2Tbsp flour (all purpose or gluten free blend)
▪50g or 3Tbsp tomato paste
▪50g or 3Tbsp ketchup
▪15g or 2Tbsp yellow mustard
▪15g or 2 1/2-3tsp brown sugar
▪50g or 3 1/2Tbsp worcestershire
▪20g or 1 1/2Tbsp red wine vinegar
▪10g or 1 ½tsp better than bouillon beef paste
▪350g or 1 1/2c stock (chicken or beef)
Add beef to a bowl with baking soda and mix thoroughly to incorporate.
Preheat a large nonstick pan over medium high. Add a squeeze (Tbsp or so) of olive oil followed by diced onions, poblanos, and a pinch of salt. Saute for 3-4 mins, stirring often. When veg has softened a bit and has started to brown, add in beef/baking soda mix, using a meat musher or wooden spoon to break up meat into small pieces. When beef is broken down well and is beginning to brown, add salt (5g), onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, paprika, and chile flake. Stir to combine and cook for about 30 seconds.
Add flour and stir to combine and cook for a few seconds. Add tomato products, mustard, brown sugar, worchestershire, vinegar, bouillon, and stock. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer then reduce heat to medium low to reduce for about 10-12 minutes, continuing to stir and break up meat as sauce reduces. Taste for seasoning and add salt if needed.
Serve on toasted brioche bun.

[@ruraloffthehighwayfarm727]

My husband absolutely HATES sloppy joes, I guess he had one to many of the old school cafeteria kind back in the day. I watched your remake Sloppy Joseph and knew I had to try it. I gained his buy in and to my amazement he even assisted. We made one change omitting the peppers as he is not a pepper fan of any kind, but kept everything else the same. WOW..WOW..WOW, he said we "hit this out of the park". He absolutely loved it, as I did. It has great flavor, and hits on all notes. This will become a staple in our household. Thank you so much for your recipes and inspiration. This was just fabulous!!!!

Same, I have about 5 kinds with this being as close to my base I can only say the only thing I may add is strangely more Worcestershire sauce despite the fact a lot was used or a fairly large quantity of black pepper. Other than that variations I have are spicy by adding some for of chili flakes, Picked by using pickled onions and peppers, One that just adds pastrami seasoning, and one that adds cheese into the sauce, oh and this is something that can be improved by Freitos or something like them

Great "SJ" recipe.

We have our own pronunciations here so it's not a matter of "getting it close". It's like Brits say kel-tick and Americans say sell-tick for Celtic. Neither one is "never get close". Each is as it is to be pronounced.

[@kurt5079]

@BillGreenAZ Except you all tend to get it incorrect in different ways which kind of undoes that argument. It is not a case of having your own pronunciation. There is correct pronunciation and incorrect pronunciation. It is an English name. You either get it right, or you do not.

@@kurt5079, Celtic is a name that relates to a specific group of people in a certain geographic location. It's an example of a geographically-based name that is pronounced differently where both pronunciations are correct depending upon who is speaking it. Same thing with this word. When you add the "r" sound to the end of "America", are you pronouncing it wrong? No. It is correct British pronunciation.

if you go keto and dont eat it with bread this can actually be something you always eat

[@lynnlamusga]

@@barbados3592 I'm on keto, and this recipe has WAY too much sugar in it, nevermind the bread. Between the ketchup (25% sugar), the worcestershire sauce (full of sugar), the bullion has sugar in it, and the actual brown sugar, this recipe is nowhere near keto. Hilarious, being that he pointed out the HFCS/sugars in the can of Manwich. You could use sugar free ketchup, and bragg aminos instead of worcestershire (maybe add some fish sauce), skip the bullion paste (no SF subs), and use erythritol/allulose with a dram or two of toffee flavored stevia instead of the brown sugar. You'll also have to use xanthan or guar as your thickener instead of flour.

[@vonheise]

At 77 I may be the the most experienced sloppy Joe chef in the world, I made my first sloppy joe at age 13, when our mom went to work and I make it on average about once a month. I have been to Key West several times and always go to the original Sloppy Joes and have their recipe, which I rarely use anymore. The original has grown from a very small bar to a very large restaurant with a stage and entertainment. I love the original, however I choose to change mine several ways for variety and even make a sloppy José with taco seasoning. I have used Manwich Bold before, but did not know they had a recipe on the can as I have never looked. The only time I look at a recipe is for ideas, as I cook to taste only. I can't provide recipes for my dishes as I never make them the same way twice other than by accident and don't realize it. I always cook my Joe down too, so it will stay on the bun, and use a spoon to mash the inside of the toasted bun into a concave to allow more Joe with less droppings on your plate to lick off. I just call it the W sauce now and most everyone knows what I am talking about.) I have added Rotel or diced tomatoes at times also for variety or even a can of Wolf's chili as I make about twice the amount as you do...

I tried this tonight - doubled the recipe to have enough for the family + leftovers. Absolutely wonderful flavor but still far too much liquid, despite reducing the beef broth to 2 cups instead of 3, and still simmering for 10-12 minutes. We ended up eating ours like an open-faced sandwich or like biscuits and gravy. And, yes, the skillet toasted brioche buns were a fantastic addition. I'm not knocking the recipe, just stating how it turned out for me when I doubled it. I absolutely want to make this again.

[@bradmeister5160]

you must be a Biden supporter, all you have to do is simmer longer.

[@BillGatliff]

If you double this then you'll either need a much larger skillet, or you'll need to simmer to reduce for a LOT longer. The ratio of volume to surface area controls how quickly you can evaporate the water out, and when you put more stuff in the pan then the volume goes up but the exposed surface area doesn't. Next time maybe try doubling everything but the water, since it's there only to help everything mix evenly while you're boiling it off.

[@BillGatliff]

If you're using pre-diluted stock, maybe double it as usual but pre-simmer it to reduce by half or so before adding. Use low-sodium stock here, just in case!

[@litrick5471]

Doubling it means you're doubling the volume but you likely didn't double your pan size so you have a lot smaller ratio of surface area to volume for the evaporation of liquid from the simmer. So you'll have to simmer it for quite a bit longer. Could also maybe make a roux with more flour or cornstarch to help.

[@BoringTroublemaker]

I loved sloppy joes as a kid but I kept trying them as an adult and they were just so sweet. I’m going to try this recipe. I usually do what I call a “sloppy Phil” with onion, bell pepper, mushroom, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, provolone cheese and then thickened with a little cornstarch. This recipe looks much more traditional and I’m excited to give it a try.

[@brassmule]

Do you melt the provolone cheese into the meat or do you put a slice on the bun with the meat? Sloppy Phil sounds pretty good actually!

[@BoringTroublemaker]

@@brassmulehaha both. I usually melt about 1-2 slices into the meat which really just helps to bind it, and then add a slice to the burger bun. I also usually use ground turkey because it works fine with the ground turkey and it offsets the amount of fat and calories from the cheese

Yet another Worcestershire Sauce pronunciation explainer. I love your work Bri, you're my favourite KZbin cook. Slick, understandable, fun and very knowledgeable. The sauce pronunciation thing though; I guess you knew that you'd get a lot of 'advice' on this topic. 'Worch' is good; I like it and no one has any problem pronouncing that. I'm a Brit and it’s pronunciation comes easy to me so here goes the explainer. Just as New York's Greenwich Village spelling bears little relationship to its pronunciation (Greenwich is also a suburb of London and pronounced ‘grennitch’ just like in NY) Worcestershire Sauce is used differently to it’s spelling. There are two options. The easy on that most Brits use is ‘Wooster’ with ‘woos’ pronounced like ‘puss’ for cats. Don’t ask why; it’s just one of those place names that gets distorted over time. The slightly longer version is ‘woostisher’. Or more phonetically ‘wus-tish-er’. The shire (or ‘er’) bit is like a county name added onto the end of a town name. Anyhoo; put simply, you can use ‘wusster’ or ‘wustisher’ or new to the cannon ‘worch’! Anyhoo, apologies for the pedantry but hope this helps. xxx

Random tip about breaking down ground meat, if you happen to have a pastry cutter lying around I’ve found it actually works really well to separate ground meat, much easier than a spatula and not only spares you another single use tool, but stops being a single use tool itself! Just be careful using it as I’ve found you can very easily go from ground meat texture to borderline fine sand pretty quickly with it.

[@andrewzibuck5860]

@@markheinle6319 it’s metal, like 9 bucks on Amazon. In my experience you don’t have to press super hard or press it forward like a cutting motion so it doesn’t really scrape the bottom. I use it more like a potato masher for meat, which is also a decent sub to break up ground meat

[@DebbaTV]

Worcestershire sauce was invented in England. They pronounce it like..."Wuss. Terr. Sherr" or even easier..."Wooster Sure". Other than that, the recipe looks fab! I'm curious to see how much heat the poblano brings. I don't care for too much heat, but like bland even less. Thanks for the recipe!

[@Nothing-zw3yd]

My grandmother made the best sloppy joes, but she called it "Sweet BBQ". Nothing more than ground beef, ketchup, mustard, a little sugar, and diced sweet pickles (NOT pickle relish, hand diced sweet pickles). The secret was to cook it for about half an hour, adding water if it got too dry. The sugar would caramelize just a little, and the sweet pickles would soak up some of the beef fat and get super savory. Thick sauce, not too sweet, not too sloppy to eat on a bun. She would make 3 or 4 pounds of it for us if we were going to camp back up in the woods for a weekend. When we ran out of rolls, we'd mix it with a big can of pork and beans. It was filling and stick to your ribs goodness. I make it on occasion but it never tastes as good as when she made it for me.

Just imagine walking down the street and seeing a man drinking worcestershire sauce out of a bottle with a sripey straw and tell me you wouldn't do a triple take...

[@markiskool]

My thought exactly!

[@PoeLemic]

Thank you for showing this to us. I really plan to make these very soon. This looks like a recipe that is so much better than Manwich, which I grew up on.

I like that schnucks beef wrapper. So nice seeing STL people

[@johnny0000000000000]

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! Your recipe is going up there with chef john's american goulash and also his billionaire's franks and beans as my go-to dressed-up nostalgic food for a crowd of friends / family. I already know I'm going to make this a million times. Thanks for the meat musher tip, I was thinking "this thing is so cool it could break AB's unitasker rule" and then you even pointed out that it did for you! Any recommendations if you're not a big fan of brioche? Portuguese sweet bread? Toasted country white or sourdough?

I made it with his "Best Bread You can actually make at home" a few hours after he uploaded it yesterday, (Ofc #3 "Big Dog version) and it was a banger, lightly toasted, open face, adds crunch and prevents sog-through. I garnished with parsley. I also dislike Brioche because it's too sweet for me.

[@steve_redman]

Made a version of this using ground chicken breast and thigh into a General Tso chicken sandwich. Used some chill crisp plus oil to add a nice balance of sweet and heat plus garlic. Made the beef version similar to this recipe but added some sharp aged cheddar cheese

[@nicoskefalas]

those sound divine! 🤤

As a non American I never had sloppy Joe's but decided to try making them a couple years ago, just winging my own recipe as I went. Probably the most fun I've had cooking, would have been 50 or so ingredients by the time I was done but it was awesome

[@hishamghazi77]

I made my first sloppy joe today using your method, and it was very good.

[@adriennepender673]

YAY, GF flour for Lorn! I worry about her missing out on all the amazing pizza and breads and sammys you've made for us. Trust and BELIEVE this --ish is getting made tonight!

[@metal1150]

Go with the potato buns! They're always much softer than the brioche Ive found.

[@swimpsmagbayao9513]

Yup..You're absolutely 💯 right

[@ebikeman4348]

I love the school cafeteria sloppy Joe. Sometimes the simplest things tastes great!

[@emptyfish8992]

I don't feel like I will ever trust none stick ever again. The recipe on the other hand looks amazing!

[@TandemTuba]

The laugh at 8:07 after trying a new recipe tells me everything I need to know. That's the "oh my goodness I didn't know a sloppy joe could taste this good" laugh.

[@shealarson2635]

You know if you use a hoagie bun or hotdog bun it makes the sloppy joe more manageable. Besides, everyone knows how we love when she makes them extra sloppy for us.

[@JohnDavis-yz9nq]

If you are going to use a hotdog bun why not go ahead and make a chili hotdog replacing the the chili with this.

[@JestaKilla]

You earned my upvote as soon as you used the word "unctuous".

[@haydenlawrence5621]

Why did I watch this knowing it would be hours before I eat 😂. Looks amazing and is most definitely on the menu for next week.

[@hortondlfn1994]

Note regarding "Worcestershire": in Britain, the "-ce" is usually not pronounced - as in "Leicester," which is pronounced "Lester" (there are many similar examples) - so the W sauce is "Worstershire" or, rather commonly, "Wooster" (or so I have been informed by several Brits). Regardless, I look forward to cooking this! The last time I had a hankering for Sloppy Joe's, I made the mistake of using the popular product you used for the original test. It was not a pleasant experience.

[@eternalRBLX]

correct 👍

[@danieldotter6077]

Sloppy joes are a total guilty pleasure. I eat them all the time but it's not something I tell my friends about. Kind of like that one girl in college.

[@shirleyvastine9328]

This is very good! Next time I'm going to take the time to measure everything out and have it ready. Mine seemed to have a lot more liquid, just let it cook down longer.

[@Ted-F-Strassburg-III]

Just made this tonight. My mom would have approved. Thank you.

[@billcook8136]

Your signature dancing is the main reason to watch your videos next to your amazing cooking of course.😊😊😊

[@philtimedavidfpw]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. And you sold on the made in cookware. Normally I'm not keen on creators plugging their sponsors. But I'll save up to support this channel. And they do look good quality.

[@xsamcat]

I'm making this right now and the sauce is taking awhile to reduce, but it tastes delicious already!

[@GrnXnham]

We made this tonight. I was a little worried that it would be too spicy for my wife. She doesn't like things to be too spicy. BUT, she and I both liked it. With less sugar and more spice, it definitely tastes more like an adult sloppy Joe. I've never been a huge fan of sloppy joes but we are both a huge fan of this recipe! One added bonus of your recipe is that this is healthier than the typical Manwich sloppy Joe due to less sugar. We DID use the low-fat ground beef because that is what we always get, and it was still great. Since this recipe has so many ingredients, it takes me a while to put it together. So I doubled your recipe and froze half of it. This way if we want to eat in a hurry at a future date, I can just microwave this mix and put it on a bun quickly for a fast meal. Thanks for posting.

[@ipinchevsky]

Wow, just finished eating these.. amazing 👏
