Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 TBS olive oil
  • 1 large red pepper, diced
  • 1 lb of ground beef
  • 1 TBS McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning
  • 2 TBS honey
  • 1 TBS red wine vinegar
  • 1 15 oz can of tomato sauce
  • 2 TBS of tomato paste
  • 6 Hamburger Buns

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil and red peppers to the pan. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir frequently.
  2. Add ground beef, steak seasoning and honey to the pan. Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat and combine all ingredients.
  3. When the meat has browned, add vinegar, tomato sauce, and tomato paste.

Notes

How To Freeze: Allow Sloppy Joes: Cool completely. Transfer to an air tight freezer-safe bag. Lay bag flat on a sheet pan and ensure that the mixture is spread out evenly. Freeze overnight. Remove sheet pan and store the sloppy joe for up to 3 months.

How To Reheat Frozen  Sloppy Joes: Remove the bag from the freezer and place into the refrigerator overnight (or allow to thaw on counter for 1-2 hours). Pour thawed Sloppy Joe into a large skillet over medium heat and stir frequently until warmed through.
