Ingredients
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 medium onion
1/2 c. water
1/4 c. cider vinegar
1/4 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. dry mustard powder
1/2 tsp. Ground cinnamon (optional)
8 buns
Preparation
Step 1Brown the meat in the skillet on medium, using the spatula to break the chunks into little pieces. You’ll need to cook for 7 to 10 minutes, until there’s absolutely no pink color remaining in the beef.Step 2Add everything but the buns to the browned meat, and stir until well combined. Simmer 5 to 7 minutes on medium so the flavors meld. If you’re not quite ready to eat yet, turn the stove down to low and put a lid on the pan.Step 3It’s too messy to make a platter of Sloppy Joes! Just bring the meat and buns to the table and let everyone put together their own sandwich. Be sure to set the skillet on a trivet or hot pad so you don’t burn the tabletop, and turn off the stove.
