Description

A bold twist on the classic sloppy joe, combining savory ground beef with a rich and creamy beer cheese sauce, making a hearty and flavorful sandwich that is perfect for a satisfying meal.


Ingredients

Beef Mixture

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Beer Cheese Sauce

  • 1 cup beer
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 tablespoon butter

To Serve

  • 4 burger buns, toasted


Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef and Onion: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion together until the beef is browned and the onions are soft, about 6-8 minutes. Make sure to break up the beef as it cooks for even browning.
  2. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to let it burn.
  3. Prepare the Beer Cheese Sauce: In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, sprinkle the flour into the butter and whisk constantly to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  4. Add Beer and Thicken: Gradually whisk in the beer to the roux, continuing to whisk until the mixture thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Add Cheese: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts completely, resulting in a smooth and creamy sauce.
  6. Combine Sauces with Beef: Pour the beer cheese sauce into the skillet with the browned beef and onion mixture. Stir well to combine.
  7. Add Ketchup and Mustard: Stir in the ketchup and mustard, tasting and then seasoning with salt and black pepper to your preference.
  8. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spoon the hot beer cheese sloppy joe mixture onto the toasted burger buns. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use your favorite beer to customize the flavor profile of the cheese sauce.
  • Add sliced jalapeños into the beef mixture or as a topping for an extra kick of spice.
  • Serve the sandwiches immediately after assembling to prevent soggy buns and to enjoy the melty cheese sauce at its best.
