Drunken Sloppy Joes
These drunken sloppy joes were inspired by by the drunken meatballs recipe that i make (recipe #276860). i had a gathering with a group of friends that usually request the drunken meatballs but i wanted to try to do something else. so, i looked at what i had in the house and came up with drunken sloppy joes. i am sure any kind of bourbon would work but i drink so little (funny considering this recipe) that i have been working through the same bottle of southern comfort since christmas.
Steps
Heat the olive oil in a large and deep pan.
Add the onions and fry gently until they have started to go tender.
This takes about 5 minutes , stirring often.
Crumble in the ground beef and cook , stirring when needed , until all of the meat is browned.
This took me about 8 minutes.
Add the ketchup , southern comfort and brown sugar and stir until everything is combined with the meat.
Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer and continue to simmer for about 15 minutes , stirring now and then.
Stir in the dijon mustard and then let simmer for another 15 minutes or until the sauce is the thickness you like with a sloppy joe.
Serve on buns.
