Ingredients
Scale
Sauce
- 1 cup chicken broth (from a 32-oz carton)
- 2 tablespoons steak sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Main
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 8 oz mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 cup white onion, coarsely chopped (from 1 small onion)
- 1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 8 regular-size burger buns, toasted if desired
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (2 oz)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, mix together the chicken broth, steak sauce, and Dijon mustard. Set this sauce mixture aside for later use.
- Cook the Beef: Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently until the beef is well browned. Drain off any excess fat, then remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Vegetables: To the same skillet with remaining drippings, add the butter. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms, coarsely chopped onion, and Montreal steak seasoning. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms have browned nicely.
- Make the Roux: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables in the skillet. Stir and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the flour browns slightly and develops a nutty aroma, which helps thicken the sauce.
- Combine Beef and Broth: Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet. Pour in the prepared broth mixture, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and meld the flavors.
- Assemble the Sloppy Joes: Spoon about 1/3 cup of the beef mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted burger bun. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of shredded sharp Cheddar cheese over the beef, then top with the bun’s top half to complete the sandwich. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- To reduce fat, choose lean ground beef (90% lean or higher).
- For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the broth mixture.
- These sandwiches can be made ahead and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
- Feel free to substitute the burger buns with gluten-free buns if needed.
- Toast the buns for added texture and flavor.
