Ingredients

• 1 pound ground moose meat
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium green bell pepper, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup ketchup
• 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 buns hamburger buns
• 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for toasting buns)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped yellow onion and green bell pepper to the skillet, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the ground moose meat to the other side. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking the meat into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, until it is browned and fully cooked through.

Step 5

Combine the cooked vegetables with the browned meat and reduce the heat to low.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste, coating the meat and vegetables evenly.

Step 7

Add the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and let the mixture simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, to develop the flavors and thicken the sauce.

Step 8

While the sloppy joe filling simmers, optionally toast the hamburger buns. Spread a small amount of butter on each cut side of the buns and toast them on a skillet or grill over medium heat until golden brown.

Step 9

Spoon the hot moose sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom half of each bun, then add the top bun. Serve immediately and enjoy!
