How to Make Beef And Mushroom Sloppy Joes
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 lb ground beef and cook for 4-5 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
- While the beef cooks, chop the 8 oz cremini mushrooms coarsely (no need for a food processor, unless preferred for a finer texture).
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 3 minutes, or until the onion is softened.
- Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Stir in black pepper and 1-2 tablespoons of hot sauce (adjust to your spice preference).
- Spoon about 1 cup of the beef mixture onto the bottom half of each hamburger bun. Top with the other bun half. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
