Cheesy Baked Sloppy Joes

So the other day Test Kitchen Recipes showed up on the The Foodie Blogroll. I try to check out all the blogs on the widget and I'm glad I didn't miss hers! It's totally filled food I would (and do) make! Yay!!

So as I went through the entire blog, I found Nicole's Hot Sloppy Joe Sandwiches and HAD to make them.

I made them almost exactly the same... but added some more beef, more Worcestershire sauce and omitted the olives. This the recipe using my changes.

Cheesy Baked Sloppy Joes
2 lbs lean ground beef (I used 92%)
1/2 onion, chopped fine
1/2 bell pepper, chopped fine
1 can tomato soup
1/4 C ketchup
2 TBLS mustard
2 TBLS Worcestershire sauce
2 TBLS vinegar
2 TBLS brown sugar
salt & pepper to taste
2 C shredded cheddar cheese
8 sub rolls, 6 inch

Preheat oven to 350F
Brown ground beef, onions and peppers. Drain off any excess fat. Add all ingredients except cheese & sub rolls. Simmer 5 minutes. Scoop out some of the bread from the inside of the sub rolls to make room for meat and cheese. Add 5oz of meat mixture and 1/4 C shredded cheese to each sub roll. Wrap each sub in foil and bake for 15 minutes.
Unwrap and Enjoy!
