Sloppy Joes Ole Recipe

  • 1 pound ground lean beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
  • 1 (26 ounce) jar Safeway SELECT Verdi Marinara Pasta Sauce
  • 1 (4.5 ounce) can sliced black ripe olives, drained
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions (including tops)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons hot sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt
  • 4 crusty sandwich rolls or hamburger buns
  • 2 tablespoons Safeway SELECT Olive Oil
  1. In a 12-inch nonstick frying pan over high heat, combine beef, onion, and garlic. Stir often until beef is well browned and crumbled, about 15 minutes.
  2. To pan, add marinara sauce, olives, 1/4 cup green onions, hot sauce, and cumin. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring often, until bubbling, 5 to 6 minutes. Add salt to taste. Keep warm.
  3. Meanwhile, cut sandwich rolls in half horizontally. Brush cut sides lightly with olive oil. Arrange rolls, cut sides up, in a 10- by 15-inch baking pan.
  4. Bake rolls in a 450 degrees F oven until lightly toasted, 5 to 6 minutes.
  5. Place bottom half of 1 roll on each plate. Ladle meat sauce equally onto rolls. Sprinkle with additional sliced green onions. Cover sandwiches with roll tops and serve immediately.
