Ingredients
  

  • Beef Filling:
  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
  • Sloppy Joe Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • For Assembly:
  • 4 to 6 large flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup prepared cheese sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Method
 

  1. Season the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic salt, and dry mustard.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned beef and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking it apart, until browned. Drain excess grease if needed.
  3. Add the onion and red and green bell peppers. Cook for about 2 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.
  4. Whisk the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic salt in a bowl. Pour over the beef and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Place a portion of the Sloppy Joe mixture in the center of each tortilla. Top with cheese sauce and shredded cheddar, then fold in the sides and roll tightly into a burrito.
  6. Heat the vegetable oil in a clean skillet over medium heat. Grill the burritos seam-side down for about 1 minute per side, until golden and crisp. Serve hot.
