This is without a doubt, the ultimate potluck or game day party food. It’s so hearty, you could almost fill up on just this. When my husband saw it the first time, he actually put his on a bun, because he thought it was a sloppy joe! I suppose you could eat it that way. This recipe makes a nice big batch so there’s definitely plenty to go around. I usually put mine in a crock pot for gatherings that are going to last a while, just to keep it warm. Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at All Recipes:
“It’s relatively cheap and easy to make, but maybe more importantly, it’s great hot, warm, or room temp. And it’s also incredibly versatile.”
Perfect for parties or relaxing weekends at home is what I’m hearing here!
Ingredients
2 pounds extra lean ground beef
2 green bell peppers, diced
1 onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons Gold Medal all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
cayenne pepper, to taste
2 cups Swanson chicken broth
1 cup Heinz ketchup
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
Instructions
Place ground beef, bell pepper, onion, garlic, flour, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper in a heavy pot.
Place pot over medium-high heat. Break up and stir mixture as it heats. Cook and stir until most of the moisture has evaporated and mixture is crumbly and begins to brown, about 15 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well and bring mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is thick, about 45 minutes.
Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven’s broiler.
Transfer mixture to oven-proof sauce pan. Top with 1/2 of the shredded cheese. Poke cheese down into the dip with a fork, stirring lightly. Top with remaining cheese.
Place pan under broiler; broil until cheese is browned, and mixture is hot and bubbly, about 5 minutes.
