Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Yellow onion (finely diced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 cup Tomato sauce
- 0.33 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Hot dogs
- 8 pieces Hot dog buns
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded, optional)
- 8 slices Pickle slices (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and flavorful.
While the sloppy joe mixture simmers, grill or pan-fry the hot dogs to your desired level of doneness. Set aside when done.
Lightly toast the hot dog buns if desired, either on the grill or in a toaster oven.
Place a grilled hot dog into each bun and generously spoon the sloppy joe mixture over the top.
If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the sloppy joe mixture to melt slightly. Add pickle slices for extra tanginess if preferred.
Serve immediately and enjoy your messy, delicious Sloppy Dogs!
