Step-by-Step Instructions for Sloppy Joe Brains
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add oil. Cook the ground meat until browned, about 5–7 minutes, then drain excess fat.
- In the same skillet, sauté diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic for 3–5 minutes until softened.
- Stir in ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. Simmer over low heat for 5–7 minutes until thickened.
- Add red food coloring to the filling and stir well for a gruesome appearance.
- Prepare the buns by scoring the tops or piping designs with thick pink mayo or cream cheese.
- Assemble the sandwiches by scooping the meat mixture onto the bottom bun and placing the top bun to mimic spilling brains.
- Serve immediately and enjoy with spooky sides!
