Cheesy Bacon and Beer Sloppy Joes
Ingredients
- 1 lb. Omaha Steaks Ultra-Premium Ground Beef thawed
- 8 slices Omaha Steaks Applewood Smoked Steak-Cut Bacon cooked
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup beer, lager or amber ale work well
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, for extra heat
- Salt and black pepper

Instructions
