This Easy Hot Sloppy Joe Dip is a perfect crowd-pleaser for your Super Bowl party, combining savory ground beef and melted cheese for a delicious appetizer.
Equipment
- heavy pot
- oven-safe saucepan
- broiler
Ingredients
- 2 pounds extra lean ground beef
- 2 green bell peppers, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Cayenne pepper (to taste)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese , divided
Instructions
- In a heavy pot, combine ground beef, bell peppers, onion, garlic, flour, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper, then heat over medium-high until crumbly, about 15 minutes.
- Add chicken broth, ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce, mix well, and simmer for about 45 minutes until thickened.
- Preheat the broiler and transfer the mixture to an oven-safe saucepan, topping with half the cheese, then the remaining cheese.
- Broil until the cheese is browned and the dip is hot and bubbly, about 5 minutes.
Notes
You can replace the chicken broth with 2 cups of water. Alternatively, finish cooking the dip in a hot oven at 425°F (220°C) instead of using the broiler. The dip can be kept warm on the stove at low heat for guests to serve themselves. This dip pairs well with baguette slices.
