Ingredients used
● Lean ground beef- I like to use lean so it is less greasy.
● Large onion- Any kind will work, I like to use sweet.
● Quick cooking oatmeal- This helps thicken the sloppy joes, you’ll never know it’s there but it keeps your sloppy joes from being too sloppy.
● Beef broth- I just buy a small can and add a little more if I find the sloppy joes getting too thick.
● Beefy onion soup mix- The dry lipton soup mix is what I use to get these sloppy joes all their flavor.
● 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce- This just gives the sloppy joes a rich, savory flavor.
● Garlic powder- For flavor, but you can substitute fresh if you like.
● Black pepper- Freshly ground or regular ground is fine.
● Provolone cheese- I just used sliced, either regular or smoked is fine.
● Buns- I love using brioche buns for this but feel free to use your favorite bun.
