minutesIngredients
1 pound ground beef
1 cup beer
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 medium onion, diced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 large burger buns
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it’s browned.
- Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until soft, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Pour in the beer, stirring thoroughly to deglaze the skillet and allow the flavors to combine well, about 5 minutes.
- Add the tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce to the mixture, stirring until everything is evenly coated and blended.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese slowly, allowing it to melt and create a creamy sauce with the beef mixture.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste and let it simmer for 10 minutes to enhance the flavor profile.
- Toast the burger buns lightly if desired, then spoon the sloppy joe mixture generously onto each bun bottom.
- Top with the other half of the bun and serve hot with your choice of side dishes or salads.
