Iowa Sloppy Joe Dip Recipes

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, onion, and green pepper; drain off liquids.
• Stir in the garlic powder, mustard, ketchup, and brown sugar; mix thoroughly. Reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
