03 Method

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, over medium-low heat, saute the onions in olive oil (or bacon fat). Once soft and translucent add in the garlic, cook for one minute.
Step 2

Next, add in the ground beef and use a spatula (or potato masher) to break it up into small pieces and cook thoroughly.
Step 3

Then measure and add in the ancho chili powder, mustard, sugar, tomato sauce, water, Worcestershire, salt and pepper to the meat mixture. Stir and simmer over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes.
Step 4

Place the cheese sticks inside the buns and top with sloppy Joe sauce. Sprinkle with green onions, pickled jalapeno slices and/or anything else your heart desires and serve!
