Sloppy Chipotle Joes

2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 lbs ground sirloin
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, grated or finely chopped
1 Chipotle pepper in adobo, chopped
1 Tbs of adobe sauce
2 Tbs of brown sugar
2 Tbs of Worcestershire sauce
1 cup tomato sauce
salt and pepper to taste

Place a large skillet over medium-high heat with two turns of the pan EVOO, about 2 tablespoons. Once hot, add the ground sirloin and cook for about 4-5 minutes, breaking it up with a potato masher or the back of a spoon as it browns.

Add the onion, red bell pepper, garlic, chipotle pepper and sauce and cook, stirring every now and then, for 3-4 minutes, until the onions and peppers start to get a little tender.

In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and tomato sauce. Add the sauce to the skillet and season everything with a little salt and pepper, to taste. Bring up to a bubble and simmer until nice and thick, about 3-4 minutes.

Number of Servings: 4
