Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- ⅓ cup green bell pepper seeded and diced
- ½ cup yellow onion
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 12 pack King’s Hawaiian Sweet Slider Rolls
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded and divided
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Sauce
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- ¾ cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1½ tablespoons yellow mustard
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ and spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with a non-stick cooking spray. Then, set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until browned, breaking up the ground beef with a spatula.
- Add onions and green peppers and cook for 4-5 minutes or until they become soft. Then, drain off excess grease.
- Add tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, salt, onion powder, and paprika. Stir until combined and simmer uncovered for 6-8 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
- Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half at once (without separating them). Carefully remove the top half and set it aside. Place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish.
- Spread out 1 cup of cheese and top with sloppy Joe mixture. Then, top with remaining cheddar cheese
- Place the top half of the rolls over everything.
- In a small bowl, add butter and garlic powder. Mix until well combined, then brush on top of the rolls.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 10 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
- Slice before serving, and enjoy!
Notes
- Store the meat separately when possible: Since the Hawaiian rolls will become soggy, we recommend storing the meat sauce in a separate container.
- Don’t overcook the beef: Cook the beef in the skillet just until no longer pink. If it cooks too long, it will become dry.
- Adjust the seasoning to taste: It’s important to taste your food as you cook it. Add more salt and pepper if needed.
