Author Notes

Chili dogs are a classic for sure, but the sweet/savory combo of sloppy joes has been woefully neglected. And don’t skip the pickle here, the delicious crunch is a delight. —SP

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • • Half a large white onion, diced
  • • Whole bell pepper, diced (use a sweeter red or yellow pepper)
  • 3 Garlic cloves
  • 1 pound Lean ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon Neutral oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 12 ounces Chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
  • 1 S. Rosen’s Brioche Hot Dog Buns
  • 1 Vienna Beef hot dog, prepared your favorite way
  • 1 Pickle spear, cut in half lengthwise
  • • Shredded cheese (we used cheddar, but pepper jack is great if you want to add a kick)
Directions
  1. 1. Prepare the Sloppy Joe first. With one Tbsp. of oil, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Once browned, add the white onion and bell pepper, then cover and cook for 5-6 minutes. Remove cover and add diced garlic, stir until fragrant, then add Worcestershire sauce and stir again. At this point add the chili sauce and brown sugar. Lower to medium-low heat and cook covered for 5 minutes until the mixture darkens. Add salt if needed, then set aside.
  2. 2. To assemble: Place cooked hot dog in bun, top with sloppy joe mix, then add the pickle spear and shredded cheddar cheese.
