How to Make Wild Game Moose Sloppy Joes

  1. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground moose meat and 1 medium onion (chopped) over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Stir in 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1/2 cup beef broth, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional).
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  4. Serve the sloppy joe mixture on toasted hamburger buns. Garnish with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese or coleslaw.
  5. For freezing: Cool completely. Place in a freezer-safe bag, seal tightly, label, and freeze for up to 3 months. To serve: Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat gently on the stovetop until bubbly.
