Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 white onion, diced
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 buns
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon green onions, sliced (optional garnish)
- 2 tablespoons jalapeños, sliced (optional garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef and diced onion to the skillet. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is softened, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the taco seasoning and tomato sauce. Mix well to fully coat the beef in the seasoning. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Reduce heat to low, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the meat mixture, and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the cheese to melt, about 2-3 minutes.
While the cheese is melting, prepare the buns. Lightly spread the softened butter on the cut sides of the buns. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Spoon the cheesy taco sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom halves of the toasted buns.
Top with optional garnishes like sliced green onions or jalapeños, if desired, and place the top halves of the buns over the filling.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Cheesy Taco Sloppy Joes!
