🥘 Ingredients

15 items

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium carrot, grated
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 cup blue cheese crumbles
• 4 pieces brioche burger buns
• 2 stalks celery stalks, diced (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

2. Add the minced garlic and grated carrot to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

3. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.

4. Lower the heat to medium and stir in the butter, hot sauce, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and honey. Mix until the ingredients are fully combined and the meat is evenly coated.

5. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the mixture cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

6. Lightly toast the brioche buns while the meat mixture finishes cooking.

7. Spoon a generous amount of the buffalo sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom half of each bun.

8. Top with a sprinkle of blue cheese crumbles and diced celery for garnish, if desired. Place the top bun on and serve immediately.
