Rachael Ray Sloppy Joes Recipe

Get ready for an upgrade to your traditional sloppy joes, my friends!
Rachel Ray's version has this way of balancing the sweetness of the sauce with the hearty beef.
But how???
Adding a splash of apple cider vinegar is one lil' trick.
Then, chopping the onions and peppers finely, so they blend into the meat.
Of course, cooking everything together slowly gives the sauce time to soak into the beef for sublime richness.
For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the meat just enough to form crispy bits before adding the sauce. Yummers!
Serve it on soft buns or lightly toasted bread, depending on your preference for crunch or softness.
