Ingredients
  

For the Crispy Potatoes
  • 1.5 lbs potatoes cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
For the Sloppy Joe Mixture
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Baking sheet
  • Large bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Spread them in a single layer.
  2. Roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and crispy.
  3. While the potatoes are roasting, cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Break it apart with a spoon until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Add the chopped onion to the skillet with the ground beef and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  7. Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the ground beef and onions. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
  8. To serve, divide the crispy potatoes among four bowls. Top with the sloppy joe mixture.

Notes

You can add a sprinkle of shredded cheese or a dollop of sour cream on top if desired.
