Ingredients
– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup ketchup
– 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
– 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
– 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
– 2 tablespoons brown sugar
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 4 large hamburger buns
– 1 cup shredded lettuce
– 1/2 cup pickles, sliced

For the Special Sauce:
– 1/2 cup mayonnaise
– 2 tablespoons French dressing
– 4 teaspoons sweet pickle relish
– 1 tablespoon finely minced white onion
– 1 teaspoon white vinegar
– 1 teaspoon sugar
– 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onions are soft. Drain any excess fat.
2- Stir in ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar into the beef mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened slightly.
3- While the beef simmers, prepare the special sauce by mixing mayonnaise, French dressing, sweet pickle relish, minced onion, white vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until well combined.
4- Toast the hamburger buns and start assembling the Sloppy Joes: spread a generous amount of special sauce on the bottom buns, then top with the beef mixture, shredded lettuce, pickles, and cheddar cheese.
5- Cap with the top buns and serve immediately.
Enjoy!
