Cheesy Sloppy Joe Burgers II
This a variant of Cheesy Sloppy Joe Burgers I and is worthy of a new recipe. I made this last night and it is delicious. Add mustard to a bun, add a scoop of this mix and top with a few pickle slices, and it tastes just like a cheese burger. The major departure from the first recipe is that you make the sausage as you cook the meat.
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef, OR minced pork, OR ground chicken, (1 lb)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 300 grams Cheddar cheese, shredded, (10 oz)
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- olive oil, as needed
Instructions
- In a large pot heat a bit of olive oil then add the onion, when it starts to soften.
- Add the meat and all the spices, mix with a spatula to break up the meat and mix in the spices and onion. (I tripled the recipe, and used 2 lbs beef and 1 lb pork.)
- Cook the meat well until no longer pink. Drain well. Add the meat back to the pot. (I missed taking a photo of this and went right to adding the cheese.)
- Reduce the heat to a low simmer and add the cheese and mix well, mix often to prevent burning. When the cheese is melted and heated through, remove from heat.
- Serve on buns. some pickles and a squirt or two of mustard, and these are delicious!
Notes
The cheese alone is pricey at about 130 Baht/250 grams, ground beef will run about 75 Baht/500 grams, if using minced pork, that will cost about 60 Baht/500 grams, chicken even less. This is about $1.80 per person for 4 meals.
