Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 5.2 ounces Boursin cheese
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 large onion
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
- ½ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 6 hamburger buns
Instructions
- Warm 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes until the surface shimmers.
- Toss 1 chopped large onion, 1 chopped green bell pepper, and 1 chopped red bell pepper into the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes until vegetables soften and edges turn slightly golden.
- Crumble 1 pound ground beef into the skillet. Break meat into small pieces using a wooden spoon. Cook for 6-8 minutes until beef browns completely and no pink remains.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, and ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper over the meat. Stir thoroughly to distribute spices evenly.
- Pour 15 ounces tomato sauce, ½ cup ketchup, ¼ cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon yellow mustard into the skillet. Mix ingredients until fully combined.
- Lower heat to medium-low. Simmer the sauce uncovered for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent sticking. Add 1-2 tablespoons water if sauce becomes too thick.
- Taste the mixture and season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper according to your preference.
- Remove skillet from heat. Gently fold 5.2 ounces softened Boursin cheese into the mixture until completely melted and distributed.
- Toast 6 hamburger buns for 1-2 minutes until edges turn golden brown.
- Spoon the Boursin Sloppy Joe mixture onto bottom bun halves, covering evenly.
- Garnish with optional toppings like shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, or pickles.
- Complete the sandwich by placing top bun halves over the filling. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Select ground beef with a moderate fat content (85/15 or 80/20) for the best flavor and moisture in your Sloppy Joes.
- If preparing for a lower-carb diet, serve the mixture over cauliflower rice or inside lettuce wraps instead of traditional hamburger buns.
- Adjust the heat level by controlling the amount of cayenne pepper, making the dish mild or spicy based on personal preference.
- When melting the Boursin cheese, remove the skillet from direct heat to prevent scorching and ensure smooth, creamy integration into the sauce.
