Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 pounds ground beef chuck Coarse salt and ground pepper 1 onion, finely chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 can tomato puree (14.5 ounces) 2 tablespoons light-brown sugar 1 tablespoon cider vinegar 1 tablespoon tomato paste 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 4 hamburger rolls, cut into mini buns 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro 1 tablespoon chopped pickled jalapeno chiles 2 hoagie rolls, split in half 1/2 ripe avocado, thinly sliced

Directions

For the Kids (Serves 2): In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook beef, breaking apart pieces with a wooden spoon, until lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring, until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add pureed tomatoes, sugar, vinegar, tomato paste, Worcestershire, and 1 1/2 cups water. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until thickened, about 20 minutes. Reserve half the beef mixture for the adults. Divide remaining beef evenly among the mini buns (2 per serving).

For the Adults (Serves 2): Stir cilantro and jalapenos into the reserved beef mixture. Dividing evenly, spoon over bottom halves of rolls; top with avocado slices.

Cook’s Notes Children will handle mini buns easily; cut them out from regular buns with a round biscuit or cookie cutter. Save the scraps from the cut buns to make homemade croutons or breadcrumbs.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       09/15/2011   One of our favorite recipes - great with the beef although I use less beef and add diced zucchini at the end of cooking time. LOVE IT!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/28/2008   Its me again with a new review. The leftovers of the turkey sloppy joe's made great sauce over pasta. I used a fresh jalapeno which just needed the night to rest to make the sauce spicy and really tasty. Sorry Martha for the hasty review of earlier.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/28/2008   I tried this last night using Turkey adding the cilantro and jalapenos and it was the most bland boring thing I have ever tasted.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/28/2008   That's funny! Beef for turkey? I wonder where the recipe was copied from.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/28/2008   I don't see any trukey in the recipe. I do see a cucmber in the picture- also not in recipe. Is this a test?  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/27/2008   Did I miss something - it says turkey sloppy joes - where's the turkey?  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/27/2008   The email link stated this was a recipe for Turkey Sloppy Joes. The ingredients calls for beef! A big difference. We make ground turkey sloppy joes all the time. To lower the carb content, use low carb tortillas instead of high carb. bread buns. Tastes great! Editors: watch your proofreading! Turkey is not beef!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/27/2008   Second time for this...most unappitizing picture I have ever seen, I think the M. S. staff could do much better.

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/28/2008   the spicy version isn't very spicy and i added extra jalapenos. Skip the kid version. This was delicious. We substituted ground turkey instead of beef. Turned out great!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/08/2008   This is a fantastic recipe! It tastes especially good on warmed up pieces of baguette. My children prefer the spicy version.
