tesscooks4u (61)in #food • 7 years ago

I really enjoyed the hickory smoked swiss cheese with the tangy spicy sloppy joes. Making the baked hoagies with the french bread really made the sloppy joes hearty. You could also put some lettuce tomato and onion on the hoagies and take it to another level. VIDEO RECIPET at the end of this post.

INGREDIENTS:

1 to 1 1/2 pounds ground burger
1 cup finely diced onion
1 cup finely diced bell pepper
1 cup finely diced roasted red bell pepper
1 tbsp minced garlic
salt and black pepper
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp dry mustard
1-2 tsp brown sugar
pinch red pepper flakes
2 cups tomato sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1-2 tsp red wine vinegar

1 large loaf French bread
Hickory Smoked Swiss Cheese

Preheat oven to 450 degrees

In a skillet on medium high brown and chop ground burger.
Add onions, bell pepper, roasted red bell pepper and salt and pepper.
Cook for 3-5 minutes until veggies start to get tender. Add minced garlic and stir for an additional minute. Add chili powder, dry mustard, brown sugar and red pepper flakes and stir for an additional minute.

Add tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and red wine vinegar.
Stir and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until reduced and thickened. Remove from heat.

Slice french bread loaf and remove part of the bread from the top....scoop out enough to add sloppy joe mixture. Add cheese slices to bottom half and fold together.

Wrap hoagie tightly with foil and bake at 450 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool before serving.
Enjoy.

Tonite I'm serving with some Chow Chow. And this is a Pennsylvania Dutch pickled mix vegetable side dish.
Being cold, spicy and sweet the Chow Chow will go great with the hot smokey sloppy joes.
