- 2 pounds ground beef12
- 1 small yellow onion, diced (about ½ cup)1
- 1 green bell pepper, diced23
- 5 cloves garlic, minced2
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar1
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour2
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder1
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt12
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper12
- Red pepper flakes, optional2
- 1 cup beef broth12
- 1 ½ cups ketchup1
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard1
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard23
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce23
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch1
- 3 tablespoons water1
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided12
- Fresh parsley, finely chopped2
- Toasted baguette slices, bagel chips, or Fritos for serving12
- : In an oven-safe skillet or heavy pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the diced onion, bell pepper, garlic, brown sugar, flour, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using)124. Cook until the beef is no longer pink, and drain any excess grease1.
- : Stir in the beef broth, ketchup, yellow mustard (or Dijon), and Worcestershire sauce12. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened245.
- : In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry1. Pour the slurry into the sloppy joe mixture and whisk until thickened1. Remove from heat and stir in most of the shredded cheddar cheese, saving some for topping12.
- : Preheat your broiler. Top the sloppy joe mixture with the remaining cheddar cheese1. Broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly browned23.
- : Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately with toasted baguette slices, bagel chips, or Fritos12.
- : A classic choice for dipping into cheesy goodness1.
- : Adds a nice crunch and subtle flavor1.
- : My personal favorite! The salty corn chips pair perfectly with the savory dip12.
- : For a lighter option, serve with carrot sticks, celery, or bell pepper strips.
- : Spoon it over nachos, fries, or even baked potatoes for a hearty meal.
- : Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce for a fiery kick3.
- : Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack, or a blend of cheddar and mozzarella1.
- : Add diced mushrooms, or zucchini for extra nutrients and flavor.
- : Add a touch more brown sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup for a hint of sweetness.
- Absolutely! Prepare the dip up to 24 hours in advance, store it in the refrigerator, and reheat before serving. You may want to add a splash of beef broth when reheating to maintain the desired consistency.
- Yes, you can! Allow the dip to cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
- No problem! Simply transfer the dip to a baking dish before topping with cheese and broiling.
