Trying to eat a sloppy joe in sandwich form is an exercise in futility. So, why not just pour some over home made biscuits and go at it with a knife and fork?
Sloppy Joe
serves at least 6
3 lbs ground beef
1 large onion, diced
3 shallots, diced
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1 can tomato paste
1 teaspoon pasilla chili powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 Tablespoon sugar
2 Tablespoons molasses
splash red wine vinegar
Sweat onions and shallots. Add ground beef. Saute to light golden brown. Add all remaining ingredients and simmer 15-20 minutes.
Serve over home made biscuits.
(Or, toast thick slices of a crusty, rustic bread)
