Sloppy Joes

These are pretty amazing and easy!

2 tbsp vegetable oil

2 onions, roughly chopped

2 ½ lbs ground beef (85% lean)

2 tbsp tomato paste

2/3 cup smokey bbq sauce

½ cup ketchup

¼ cup Worcestershire sauce

¼ cup soy sauce

4 dashes Tabasco sauce

Freshly ground pepper

8 to 12  potato rolls

 

Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

 Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add the onions and cook, stirring, until they start to turn translucent, about 4 minutes.  Add the beef and cool, stirring, and breaking up the meat, until it is finely crumbled, the liquid boils off, and the meat begins to brown, about 10 minutes.  Stir in the tomato paste and keep stirring until all the meat is coated.  Add the barbecue sauce, ketchup, Worchestershire, soy sauce, Tabasco, and pepper, and bring to a boil.  Cook until the sauce is slightly thickened, 4 to 5 minutes.  You can make the sloppy joe up to 2 days in advance and reheat it over low heat or in the microwave.

 Wrap the rolls in aluminum foil and warm in the oven for about 10 minutes.

 Serve the sloppy joes hot with the warmed rolls.
