Sloppy Joe Dip
Sloppy Joe Dip is irresistible when served hot or warm. This versatile appetizer is a ground beef mixture that is a thicker, cheesier version of a sloppy joe and the perfect dip for toasted baguette slices.
Equipment
- Large pan or skillet
- Oven-safe baking dish. The dish you see in my photos can be used stovetop or in the oven.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds lean ground beef (or turkey)
- 2 cups diced green bell peppers – fresh or frozen
- 1 cup diced onion – fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 3 tablespoon flour
- ½ teaspoons cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoons chili powder
- 1 cup beef broth – or beef stock
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups shredded cheese – Cheddar, or blended cheese of choice
Instructions
- In a large pot or pan, add the ground beef, green bell peppers, onion, garlic, flour, sugar, and salt.
- Over medium heat, cook the ground beef stirring regularly for about 15 minutes or until the meat is browned and the onions are beginning to look translucent.
- To the meat mixture, add the beef broth, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, and chili powder.
- Simmer for 45 minutes over medium heat until the moisture cooks out and the sloppy joe mixture becomes thick.
- Add 1 cup of cheese to the meat mixture and stir until melted
- If needed, transfer the meat mixture to an oven-safe dish
- Add the remaining 1 cup of cheese to the middle of the dish and broil it in the oven for a few minutes. This will make the cheese on top brown and bubbly! But, keep your eye on it because this only takes a few minutes on broil
- Serve with baked baguette slices or Fritos!
