Ingredients

Taco Sloppy Joes

1 pound ground beef
1 small sweet onion finely diced
2 cloves garlic (minced or pressed, chopped from jar, or garlic paste)
1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
1/2 cup salsa
1/4 cup water

Serving

hamburger buns
shredded lettuce
shredded cheese
sour cream
diced avocado or guacamole

Instructions

In a large skillet pan, over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the ground beef and onion until the beef is no longer pink. Drain the grease from the skillet pan.
Stir in the garlic and let cook for about 1 minute or until very fragrant.
1 pound ground beef, 1 small sweet onion, 2 cloves garlic
Stir in the packet of taco seasoning until the beef is well coated.
1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
Stir in the salsa and water. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and let it simmer for about 8-10 minutes or until the mixture has thickened.
1/2 cup salsa, 1/4 cup water
Use a slotted spoon to serve a scoop of the taco sloppy Joe mixture onto the bottom half of a hamburger bun. Top with your favorite toppings and place the top half of the bun on top. Serve immediately.
^{* I highly recommend toasting the buns. Separate the buns and place them onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Spread butter on each half and BROIL on medium for a few minutes. Watch carefully because it burns fast!}

Notes

Nutrition Information : Amounts listed are for 6 sloppy joes including the hamburger bun. All buns will differ in nutritional values so the amounts listed may be different depending on what bun is used. It does not include any additional toppings.

Ground Beef : I use 93/7 or 90/10 ground beef in this recipe.

Make It Spicy! : Use hot salsa, shredded Pepper Jack cheese as a topping, use a packet of hot taco seasoning, add some hot sauce, add some cayenne red pepper, you can also used sliced jalapeños as a topping for the sloppy joes.

Onion : Use as much, or as little onion, as wanted. If the onion is larger than only use half of it or 1/4 of it.
