Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 chicken hamburger buns
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

Instructions

  1. Caramelize Onions: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes until they turn soft and golden brown, developing a rich caramelized flavor.
  2. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to release its aroma without burning.
  3. Cook Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Break the meat apart and cook thoroughly until it is fully browned with no pink remaining.
  4. Season and Simmer: Drain excess fat from the skillet. Then stir in Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer gently for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. Toast Buns: While the beef simmers, toast the chicken hamburger buns until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.
  6. Assemble Sandwiches: Spoon the French onion beef mixture onto the bottom halves of the buns. Generously top each portion with shredded Swiss cheese, then place the top bun to complete each sloppy joe.

Notes

  • Use chicken hamburger buns for a lighter alternative to regular beef buns.
  • For extra flavor, try adding a splash of balsamic vinegar during the onion caramelization step.
  • Swiss cheese can be substituted with Gruyère or mozzarella for different cheese profiles.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
  • For gluten-free option, use gluten-free buns instead of chicken hamburger buns.
