Ingredients
Scale
Beef Mixture
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Assembly
- 4 chicken hamburger buns
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
Instructions
- Caramelize Onions: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes until they turn golden brown and caramelized, developing a rich, sweet flavor.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic with the caramelized onions and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Cook Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Break the meat apart with a spatula and cook until fully browned and no longer pink.
- Season and Simmer: Drain any excess fat from the skillet. Mix in Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Toast Buns: Lightly toast the chicken hamburger buns until golden brown to enhance texture and flavor.
- Assemble Sloppy Joes: Place a generous amount of the beef and onion mixture on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top each with shredded Swiss cheese, then cover with the top bun. Serve warm for a satisfying meal.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of beef broth during the simmer step.
- You can substitute Swiss cheese with Gruyère or mozzarella if preferred.
- Use whole wheat buns for a healthier option.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated on the stovetop or microwave.
