Pumpkin Sloppy Joes Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook the beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the pumpkin, tomato sauce, brown sugar, mustard, chili powder and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes., Meanwhile, cut American cheese slices with a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter. Cut mozzarella cheese into shapes (triangles, half-circles, etc.) to make pumpkin faces. Spoon meat mixture onto buns and top each with a pumpkin.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven or large cast-iron skillet, cook and crumble beef with onion over medium-high heat until no longer pink, 6-8 minutes; drain. Stir in seasonings, ketchup and tomato juice; bring to a boil. Stir in pumpkin. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, to allow flavors to blend, about 15 minutes. Serve on buns. Freeze option: Freeze cooled meat mixture in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally and adding a little broth or water if necessary.

Steps:

• In a large heavy saucepan brown the ground turkey over medium high heat.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the onions. Cook until the onions are almost soft and translucent.
• Add the garlic and cook for additional minute or two.
• Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for 15 minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
• Mix ketchup, chili sauce, onion, green bell pepper, brown sugar, and mustard powder into ground beef; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until flavors have blended, about 15 minutes; serve on hamburger buns.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until just softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the turkey, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook, breaking up the turkey with a wooden spoon or spatula, until no longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the pumpkin puree, tomato paste, brown sugar and Greek yogurt until well combined. Transfer to a medium bowl and refrigerate to cool slightly while you prepare the dough.
• Meanwhile, roll out 1 pie crust into a 12-inch round with a rolling pin. Use a 4-inch pumpkin-shaped cutter to cut out 8 pumpkins, rerolling the scraps as needed. Divide the pumpkins between the prepared baking sheets (these are the bottom crusts). Repeat with the remaining sheet of pie dough, but do not transfer the cutouts to the baking sheets (these are the top crusts); set aside.
• Scoop 2 tablespoons of the turkey mixture into the center of each bottom crust leaving a generous border around the edges.
• Use your finger to dab the edges of the dough with water and top each with a top crust to completely cover the filling. Press down gently around the edges with your fingers to seal. Sprinkle with pumpkin pie seasoning and a pinch of salt. Cut three vertical slits in the top of each hand pie to resemble the ribs on a pumpkin.
• Bake until the crusts are golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir ground beef and onion in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 7 to 8 minutes. Add bell pepper and garlic; cook and stir until tender, 2 to 3 more minutes.
• Add 1 cup beef broth, ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper; bring to a simmer. Add remaining 1 cup broth and reduce heat to low. Simmer until mixture becomes very thick, 30 to 45 minutes. Taste and adjust for salt, pepper, and cayenne as needed.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk egg and water together in a small bowl.
• Roll out both pie crusts on a lightly floured surface and cut out six 5-inch circles. Place a slice of Cheddar cheese in the center of each circle and top with Sloppy Joe mixture. Fold dough and seal the edges using a fork. Brush the outsides with egg wash and place hand pies on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
