French Onion Beef Sloppy Joes
Juicy, cheesy, and loaded with caramelized onions — these French Onion Sloppy Joes turn a weeknight dinner into pure comfort food. Simple ingredients, rich flavor, and ready in no time.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 large yellow onions thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices provolone or Swiss cheese
- 4 hamburger buns toasted
Instructions
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions and cook slowly for 15–20 minutes until golden brown and caramelized, stirring occasionally.
- Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Stir in minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Pour in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Stir and simmer for 5–7 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
- Spoon the beef mixture onto toasted buns, top with a slice of cheese, and let it melt before serving.
Notes
Don’t rush the onions — slow cooking builds deep flavor.
Toast the buns to keep them from getting soggy.
For extra richness, add shredded Gruyère before melting.
