How to Make Sweet And Sour Sloppy Joes

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound ground beef and 1/2 cup chopped onion; cook, breaking up the meat, until browned (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger.
  4. 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.
  5. Serve the sweet and sour sloppy joe mixture on toasted hamburger buns. Garnish with chopped green onions (optional).
