Moose Sloppy Joes

Moose is a delicious and lean meat that is perfect for sloppy joes. This recipe is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. I like to add a little bit of hot sauce and extra brown sugar for a bit of a kick.

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds ground moose

• 1 large onion, chopped

• 3/4 cup brown sugar

• 1-2 dashes hot sauce (optional)

• 1 tablespoon spicy prepared mustard

• 2 tablespoons ketchup

• 1/2 cup barbecue sauce

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet, brown the moose over medium heat. Drain off any excess fat.

2. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

3. Stir in the brown sugar, hot sauce, mustard, ketchup, barbecue sauce, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.

4. Serve over hamburger buns.

Tips:

• For a spicier sloppy joe, add more hot sauce.

• For a sweeter sloppy joe, add more brown sugar.

• To make your own barbecue sauce, combine 1 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, or until thickened.

• Serve sloppy joes with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, pickles, onions, and tomatoes.
