How to Make Barbecue Sloppy Joes
- Brown the ground beef and chopped onion in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, breaking the beef into crumbles. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in the barbecue sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth.
- Pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan and stir well.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and the flavors have melded. Stir occasionally.
- Serve the sloppy joe mixture on hamburger buns. Enjoy!
