- 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

Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess grease.
- Add the onion and garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the beer to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for a few minutes until the beer reduces slightly.
- Stir in the beef broth, ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Divide the sloppy joe mixture among the toasted hamburger buns. Top each with 2 slices of bacon and enjoy!
