Ingredients

  • 1 lb 90% lean ground beef
  • 1/2 count onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 3/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar
  • 12 count Hawaiian rolls
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 lb baby carrots

Steps

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Brown the beef with the diced onion, 7 minutes, until no pink remains and it reaches 160°F. Drain, then add the garlic.
  2. Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire and 1/4 cup water and simmer 5 minutes until thick.
  3. Halve the slab of rolls, spoon the sloppy joe filling on the bottom, top with cheddar and the top half.
  4. Brush with melted butter, cover and bake 10 minutes; uncover 3 minutes.
  5. Serve with baby carrots.
  6. Picky eater tip: serve the plain cheesy rolls with the meat on the side, and carrots plain.
  7. Make ahead: cook the filling up to 2 days ahead and keep it chilled, then assemble and bake.

On the side: Garlicky green beans (10 min)

12 oz green beans

  1. Trim the green beans. Cook in a skillet with a splash of olive oil over medium-high heat, 6 to 8 minutes, until bright and just tender.
  2. Stir in a minced garlic clove for the last minute and season with salt.
