The sloppy Joe really lives up to its name: rich, tomato-sauced minced beef is piled messily and generously into a burger bun so that it spills out over the sides. These are great served with fries or even crisps, but whatever you do, don’t forget the napkins.
Heat a splash of oil in a frying pan and add the onion. Cook until softened - around 5 minutes
Add the minced beef and cook until browned all over, breaking up any lumps as you go
Add the tomato paste, passata, ketchup, American mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, Tabasco and some salt and mix everything well to combine. Bring to a simmer and allow to cook for around 20 minutes, or until everything is thick and glossy
Divide the mince beef mixture between the toasted buns, top with dill pickle slices, and serve
