1 lb ground beef
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 large yellow onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2/3 cup ketchup
1 tbsp brown sugar, plus 1 tsp, separated
1 tsp yellow mustard
3/4 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
4 hamburger buns, warmed
1 (12 oz) bag pre-cut coleslaw mix
⅓ cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Directions

1) Place ground beef and 1 tsp salt in a Suvie pan, mix slightly to combine and break beef into chunks. Place olive oil, bell pepper and onion into another Suvie pan and stir to combine.

2) Load both pans into Suvie and Roast at 400°F for 15 minutes stirring halfway through to ensure even browning.

3) Remove pans from Suvie. Drain and discard fat from beef. Add beef to pan with vegetables along with the minced garlic, ketchup, 1 tbsp brown sugar, mustard, chili powder, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix thoroughly, breaking beef into small chunks.

7) After the cook, remove pan from Suvie and season sloppy Joe filling with salt and pepper to taste. Place each bun on a plate, divide sloppy joes between the four buns, and serve with a scoop of coleslaw.
