First, let’s talk about the star of the show: the sloppy joe mixture. It’s a perfect blend of ground beef, spicy chorizo, jalapeno, and beer. Yes, you read that right – beer! The Guinness Blonde adds a depth of flavor that will make your taste buds do the happy dance. And don’t worry, it’s not too spicy, just a hint of heat that will leave you wanting more.
Now, let’s get started with the prep work. Brown the ground beef and chorizo in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up into tiny pieces as it cooks. Once it’s nice and browned, add in the diced onion and cook until it’s translucent. Then, add in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Next, add in the chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Stir well to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the spices are fragrant. Now it’s time to add in the beer, diced tomatoes, and brown sugar. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded together and the sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
While the sloppy joe mixture is cooking, toast some pretzel buns on the grill or in the oven. You can also top them with some cheese and broil until melted and bubbly.
Now it’s time to assemble the sandwiches. Spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto the toasted buns and top with some diced onions, jalapenos, and cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy!
But wait, there’s more! Take your sloppy joes to the next level by serving them with some loaded sloppy joe fries. Simply top some crispy fries with cheese, broil until melted, and then spoon some of the sloppy joe mixture on top. Add some cilantro and jalapenos for extra flavor and texture.
