Drunken Sloppy Joes Recipe - Food.com (2024)

Submitted by Sarah_Jayne

"These drunken sloppy joes were inspired by by the drunken meatballs recipe that I make (recipe #276860). I had a gathering with a group of friends that usually request the drunken meatballs but I wanted to try to do something else. So, I looked at what I had in the house and came up with Drunken Sloppy Joes. I am sure any kind of bourbon would work but I drink so little (funny considering this recipe) that I have been working through the same bottle of Southern Comfort since Christmas."

ingredients

2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup onion, very finely chopped (I used my mini chopper)

1 cup Southern Comfort
1 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

directions

Heat the olive oil in a large and deep pan.
Add the onions and fry gently until they have started to go tender. This takes about 5 minutes, stirring often.
Crumble in the ground beef and cook, stirring when needed, until all of the meat is browned. This took me about 8 minutes.
Add the ketchup, Southern Comfort and brown sugar and stir until everything is combined with the meat.
Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer and continue to simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring now and then.
Stir in the dijon mustard and then let simmer for another 15 minutes or until the sauce is the thickness you like with a sloppy joe.
Serve on buns.

DH and I were mixed on the review of this recipe. He thought it was way to sweet. I thought it tasted just right. I was a bit worried when adding the brown sugar, knowing that he might not care for the extra sweetness. But we both agreed that the "Bourbon Rocks". This added a nice change. Thanks for posting. I served them on toasted buns. Yum.

Since I had to borrow a cup of Southern Comfort from a neighbor, they were happy enough to share half of this 'joe' recipe with us! I did use dark brown sugar & also honey Dijon mustard, & the little bit of extra molasses & sweetness wasn't a distraction at all! Thanks for posting!

I became a widow at the age of 27 in 2004 but have managed to fall in love again and was married again on July 19, 2008.I have a double major honors degree in sociology and politics and am slowly working my way through a Masters.I am a wanabee writer but until that dream becomes a reality I work in internet marketing where I build websites for profit. So, it is nice to come to a site like this and just enjoy being on the internet rather than using it as a work environment.I am a BBW (big woman) but over the past two years I have lost over 80lbs and am working my way down the scales slowly but steadily.These days, I am trying to eat a lot less meat. So, I am trying to have as many vegetarian recipes in the week as I can manage. I have started a blog - <a href="http://weekendcarnivore.com/">Weekend Carnivore</a> where I blog about trying to eat a mostly vegetarian diet. I share a lot of my discovered recipes there. If I make one of your vegetarian recipes and I managed to take a good photo of it, chances are I will blog about it and tell everybody how much I enjoyed it.These are banners and buttons from Zaar events in which I have participated:<img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/duch*eSS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC11-Participant.jpg"> <a href="http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/?action=view&current=metermaids.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/metermaids.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap1/group14tomato.jpg><img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap3/group07kiwi.jpg><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/cookbookZWT.jpg" border="0" alt="I am alw">
