  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fennel seed, if desired
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

  • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • 1 can (28 oz) Muir Glen™ organic diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 10 sandwich buns, split

Steps

    In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef, onion and garlic over medium-high heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is thoroughly cooked and onion is tender; drain. Stir in fennel seed, salt and pepper.

    Stir in wine, brown sugar, tomatoes and oregano. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered about 15 minutes or until mixture is slightly thickened.

    Spoon mixture into buns.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    You can use beef broth for the wine but expect the flavor to be a little different.
  • tip 2
    Skip the buns and serve the sloppy joe mixture over toasted Italian bread slices.
