Spice up your summer meals with this flavorful and satisfying spicy sloppy joes recipe. Packed with bold flavors and a kick of heat, it's sure to become a summertime favorite.
Choose high-quality ground beef and fresh vegetables like onions, bell peppers, and jalapeños to add a spicy punch to the dish.
Sauté onions and bell peppers until tender, then add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Season with garlic powder, onion powder, and a touch of brown sugar for depth of flavor that's both savory and sweet.
Pour in a generous amount of tomato sauce and ketchup to create a rich and tangy sauce that coats the beef and vegetables.
Let the mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Balance the heat with a touch of sweetness by adding molasses or brown sugar to the sauce, creating a perfect harmony of flavors.
Let the mixture simmer on low heat for about 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken, intensifying the taste.
Spoon the flavorful sloppy joe mixture onto the toasted buns and serve with your favorite summer sides like coleslaw, potato salad, or corn on the cob.
