Here is another comfort food recipe for everyone to enjoy. It has been a long time since I made Sloppy Joes and I cannot even come up with a good reason why. Since these are easy to make and delicious to eat, they should be enjoyed more often. I will have to put this meal into the rotation – they deserve a spot, don’t you think?
In a skillet over medium heat, add the canola oil and heat until shimmering. Add the ground beef and cook until almost all the pink is gone, approximately 5 minutes.
Add the onion, carrot, peppers, and celery. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Cook until the vegetables begin to soften, approximately 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and mushrooms. Cook until the garlic is fragrant, approximately 1 minute. Add the dry mustard, nutmeg and summer savory, stirring to distribute. Add the tomato paste, tomato sauce, worcestershire sauce, and bourbon, stirring to combine.
Bring mixture to a strong simmer, then reduce heat to low/medium low and cover. Simmer lightly, stirring occasionally, for approximately 30 minutes to meld the flavors. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Serve inside a toasted bun and top with cheese (optional), broiling the cheese to melt, if desired.
