Ingredients You Will Need
Ground Beef: The base of the dip is ground beef. Great source of protein and is flavorful.
Vegetables: Onions, garlic, and bell peppers are used to help richen up the base of this hot dip.
Flour: This is going to help thicken but also add depth to the dip. Without the flour, it won’t be as thick.
Brown Sugar: I used a little brown sugar to help balance out the acidic flavors but also added a hint of sweetness.
Seasonings: Salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper are used to help elevate the flavors of the ground beef and complement the tomato base.
Chicken Stock: I used chicken broth but you can easily use beef broth or stock to replace it.
Condiments: Ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce were used to help create that savory and tangy base to the sloppy joe dip.
Cheese: Sprinkle some shredded cheese on top for added creaminess but also a savory and tangy flavor to compliment the beef.
