Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced (red, yellow, or green)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon mustard
1 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
4 to 6 tablespoons ice water
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of flour and ½ teaspoon of salt. Add the chilled, diced butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough holds together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes.
Stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled pie crust on a floured surface and transfer it to the pie dish.
Spoon the Sloppy Joe mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
