Sloppy Joey's

Total Time30 minutes
Servings: 12 Sliders

Ingredients

For the Meat Mixture:

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 cup finely diced yellow onion
  • 1 cup finely diced green bell pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 lb lean ground beef 90/10
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • ¼ cup coconut aminos

For the Garlic Butter:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley

For Assembly:

  • 1 package rolls (I used Dave's Killer Bread Organic Rock ‘N’ Rolls)
  • 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • ¼ cup sliced dill pickles

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉ and spray a baking dish or sheet pan with non-stick spray.

Make the Meat Mixture:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook until they are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook, breaking up the beef with the edge of a spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 more minutes. Drain off any excess fat.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the salt, pepper, chili powder, tomato paste, mustard, and coconut aminos. Stir until well combined. Remove from heat and cover until ready to assemble.

Make the Garlic Butter:

  • In a small saucepan, melt together the butter, garlic, and parsley over medium low. Stir to combine, remove from heat. Cover and set aside.

Assemble and Bake:

  • To assemble, cut the “lids” off the dinner rolls (by cutting in half) and opening them up. Place the bottom half of the rolls in the prepared baking dish. On the bottom half of the rolls, drizzle with yellow mustard and spread into an even layer. Place 4 slices of provolone down. Add the mer mixture, top with sliced pickles, and finish the remaining 4 slices of provolone. Place the “lids” of the dinner rolls on top and brush with the garlic butter.
  • Cover tightly with foil and transfer to the oven and bake, covered, for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from the oven, serve, pull apart, and enjoy!
