Sloppy Joes

I had Sloppy Joes once when I was a kid, it was at my friend's house, and I wasn't into them. I remember it being really sweet, and gross. So, when I got the America's Test Kitchen cookbook a few years ago, I didn't even look at the recipe, but then I was curious as to what was actually in it. Upon reading the recipe, It seemed super simple and tasty....so I'm not sure what the problem was when I was a kid. Anyway, I tried the recipe with my family, and it's quick, super easy and delicious. It goes really well on the Soft Pretzel Buns. To keep the cooking to a minimum, serve it with a fresh garden salad.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Heat oil in a 12 inch skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion, chili powder and 1/2 tsp. salt and cook until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- 2
Add the beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until almost cooked through but still slightly pink, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato puree, ketchup, water, brown sugar and 1/2 tsp. hot sauce. Simmer until the sauce is slightly thicker than the ketchup, about 8-10 minutes.
- 3
Season with salt and hot sauce to taste. Spoon mixture over hamburger buns and serve. Good if served with a pickle.
