Servings: 4 Servings
Calories: 423kcal
Equipment
- 1 Large Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 lb Lean Ground Beef
- ½ Green Bell Pepper Seeded and chopped
- ½ Onion Finely Chopped
- ¾ cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Montreal Steak Spice
- 2 teaspoon Yellow Mustard
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 4 Kaiser Buns
Instructions
- Get a medium campfire going, or get your charcoal on the go. (If you’re making this on a stove, use medium high heat and a nonstick pan.)
- Add the ground beef and olive oil to a large cast iron skillet - or a dutch oven, and set over the fire or hot coals.
- Cook - breaking up the meat as it cooks - just until it’s cooked though. Add the chopped bell pepper and onion, continue cooking until the vegetables are tender, another 2-3 minutes.Note: You can thaw them first, or just add them in frozen. They’ll take a bit longer to cook if frozen, but it works just fine!)
- Add the remaining ingredients to the pan, stir well to combine.
- Allow to simmer for about 15 minutes, or until thickened to the texture you like.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Divide sloppy joes mixture between your buns, serve hot!
Notes
Leftover sloppy joe mix can be cooled to room temperature, then stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat before serving.
See the post for details on how to do most of the food prep in advance, creating a freezer pack of ingredients. It makes the cooking SO much quicker and easier when we get to our campsite!
