Ingredients
Scale
- For the Sloppy Joes:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Topping:
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 4 hamburger buns, toasted
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
- Add the sliced onions and garlic to the skillet, cooking until the onions are caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
- Stir in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Divide the beef mixture among the toasted hamburger buns and top each with shredded Swiss cheese.
- Place the assembled Sloppy Joes on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
