“Sloppy Joe” Burger

Ingredients for 4 people:

  • 4 large burger buns (possibly homemade)
  • 500 grams of ground beef
  • 1 onion
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • ½ red pepper
  • 1 – 2 mild pepperonis (from the jar)
  • 50 – 75 grams of ketchup
  • 1 can finely chopped tomatoes
  • 1 good dash of red wine
  • 1 lettuce heart
  • 1 heaping tablespoon of tomato paste
  • Cheddar to taste
  • Gherkins slices (Danish/Norwegian cucumber salad) to taste
  • Oil for frying
  • Sugar
  • Salt & pepper

Kitchen Helper/Gadgets:

  • A large pan/pot
  • Possibly a grill pan
  • Wooden spoon
  • Baking tray + parchment paper



Instructions:

…for the minced meat sauce:

Heat up a large pan/pot adding a little dash of oil & sear the minced meat about 3 – 4 minutes, crumble the meat with a wooden spoon (or a similar kitchen utensil). After 2 minutes add the diced pepper and stir fry. Add onions, garlic and pepperoni and fry for another 2 – 3 minutes stirring occasionally. Next add a heaping tablespoon of tomato paste, stir into the meat and fry for about 1 minute. Deglaze with a good dash of red wine and let boil dry the wine. Add 1 tin of chopped tomatoes and about 50 – 75 grams of ketchup while stirring, and let simmer for about 10 – 15 minutes at low to medium heat, stirring occasionally.

…for the buns:

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees (grill function). Halve the buns. Heat up a grill pan adding a drizzle of olive oil & toast the buns with the cut side down for about 3 – 4 minutes until golden brown.

…for the “Sloppy Joe” Burger:

Spread the bun halves on a baking tray & garnish the bottom halves with 1 – 2 leaves of lettuce, 2 – 3 heaped tablespoons of minced meat sauce & 1 – 2 slices of cheddar cheese to taste. Let melt the cheese in a preheated oven.

Finally top with a few slices of pickled cucumbers and cover with the upper bun half.

Bon Appetite!
