Description
A savory twist on sloppy joes featuring caramelized onions and beef.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes until deeply caramelized and soft. Remove onions from the skillet and set aside.
- Add ground beef to the same skillet. Cook over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
- Stir in salt and pepper. Sprinkle flour over the beef and cook for 1 minute.
- Pour in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Return the caramelized onions to the skillet and mix well with the beef mixture.
- Toast the hamburger buns lightly.
- Spoon the beef mixture onto the bottom halves of the buns. Top each serving with a slice of Swiss cheese. Place the top half of the bun on top.
Notes
- For deeper flavor, cook the onions low and slow; do not rush the caramelization process.
- You can substitute Gruyère cheese for Swiss cheese.
