Sloppy Joe

About this cut

Sloppy joe usually starts with a packet of seasoning and whatever ground beef is in the fridge. Ours starts with our own Black Angus, cooked down properly before it ever reaches you. It arrives ready to heat, so dinner is ten minutes rather than a project.

Good for

Heat it in a pan or a slow cooker and pile it onto soft rolls. Pickles on the side, and a slice of cheese under the lid if you want to be popular.

From our kitchen

Soft rolls, a slice of cheese melted under the lid, pickles on the side.

Warm it through in a pan on low while the rolls toast. The cheese goes on the meat in the pan with a lid over it for thirty seconds so it melts properly rather than just sitting on top. Pickles, chips, and something raw and crunchy to balance it out. Nobody has ever left one on the plate.

Storage

Arrives frozen and vacuum sealed, and keeps about a year in the freezer. Thaw it overnight in the fridge, or quick thaw it in a bowl of cold water. Once it's thawed, keep it in the fridge and eat within 3 to 5 days.
