Sloppy Joes with Lamb

Your friends and family will savor this twist on an American classic. Ground lamb gives the hearty dish a flavor all its own, but if it’s not available, just substitute another pound of ground beef in its place.

1
Place a large, sturdy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When pot is hot, add enough oil to coat the bottom. When oil is heated through, add onion and peppers and season with salt and pepper to taste. Sauté until onions start to brown and vegetables soften, about 8 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook through, about 1 minute.
2
Add ground meats to the pot, breaking them up well with a wooden spoon, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the juices evaporate and the meat begins to brown.
3
Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce and barbecue sauce and mix well. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
4
Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes more. Serve on sliced buns.
