I made Recipe Tin Eats SLOPPY JOES : Where have you been all my life.
On Sunday evening I had a hankering for something warming, something beef and something that would go fab with the Sourdough Bread Rolls I picked up from Basket Range Baker at the Adelaide Showground Farmers Market on Sunday morning.
For anyone who was anywhere near Wayville on Sunday morning, you would know the BOOM CRASH OPERA that hit the market mid morning. Thank you to our customer who helped hold down our marquee when the storm was wild. And thank you to the Farmers Market staff who were so kind and helpful when we were in the thick of it. Farmers Market people are certainly good people that is for sure.
The most amazing thing was that the weather continued. And you, our dedicated Farmers Market shoppers KEPT ON COMING! Thank you so much. It is just truly so heart warming to be able to bring our farms Grass Fed Beef to you and your family table. But to know that you are so amazing in keeping on coming to shop with us at Sundays Farmers Market. Even through the wild weather of a spring thunderstorm was just so uplifting. Thank you. Truly thank you. As Farmers Market stall holders, we come to the Farmers Markets stocked full with our grass fed meats and a heart full of hope of being greeting with a market full of shoppers. Your dedication to getting to the source of Farm Fresh Food is truly amazing.
It was a wild and wet morning. We were soaked through. All our market gear was soaked through. So by Sunday evening, I just felt like something that would warm us up all the way through.
Sloppy Joes is an American classic that I have heard of many times. But never actually made it. I chose Nagi from Recipe Tin Eats recipe as it had 5 stars and I find the flavour in her recipes so good. Well, after I started cooking the smell just took my breath away. And when I took a bite, I truly thought “where have you been all my life”.
Monday I buttoned up weekend Market business. I have done a couple of relief teaching days and so tonight to have that hearty smell of left over Sloppy Joes coming from the oven is just such a relief and oh so welcome. All I had to do to get tea on the table, was pick up a few fresh bread rolls from our local bakery on the way home after school pick up.
I made a few simple adaptations to this recipe and have included my own method for you.
There are some meals that you just keep thinking back to. About how truly good they taste. This is one of them. I have spent far too much time between Sunday evening and now thinking about what was it that made them so good. I think is is combination of many good things really. A great recipe, great grass fed beef from farm (of course!) and that amazing sour dough roll from the Basket Range Baker (that I wish I bought more of).
I hope you get to enjoy the joy of this Recipe Tin Eats SLOPPY JOES recipe with Grass Fed Beef from our family farm, with your family soon.
Sloppy Joes
It was a wild and wet morning. We were soaked through. All our market gear was soaked through. So by Sunday evening, I just felt like something that would warm us up all the way through.

Ingredients
- 500g Peppermint Ridge Farm Co Grass Fed Beef Mince
- 6 X Basket Range Baker Sourdough Rolls
- Olive Oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 onion
- 1 red capsicum
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1.54 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1/2 cup beef bone broth or 1 tablespoon beef stock powder
- Black pepper
- 6 cheese slices, cut in triangles.
Instructions
- In cast iron pan heat oil and fry onion and garlic until translucent (tip into saucepan on low heat). In the frying pan, add more oil and fry off capsicum (tip into saucepan on low heat). Add tomato paste to the saucepan and fry off tomato paste. This method is to avoid fritzing the cast iron pan with a tomato based sauce recipe. In the frying pan, add a little more olive oil and fry off the grass fed beef mince from our farm. When mince is all cooked, add to the saucepan. Take the frying pan off the heat.
- Into the saucepan also add the mustard, brown sugar, tomato sauce, worcestershire sauce, beef broth and pepper. Cook on medium heat, stirring regularly until the liquid is absorbed.
- Warm the bread rolls in the oven. Cut bread rolls in half. Cut the cheese sliced into triangles.
- Fill the bread rolls with a spoon full of Sloppy Joe mixture and top with cheese.
- Enjoy.
Notes
Recipe adapted from Nagi of Recipe Tin Eats;.
Basket Range Baker is a wonderful family business and super COVID start up story. All sourdough, that will knock you socks off. Basket Range is a special place. And this amazing little bakery is doing incredible things at local farmers markets, their new Truly GF (Gluten Free) stall inside the Adelaide Showground Farmers Market. As well as their new bakery The Local Loaf (Glenside). Which is on our “to visit” list. We love their croissants especially. But it is all fabulous. I hope you get to enjoy their beauties soon.
Our Grass Fed Beef Box sales are ticking along. We are now sold out of our QUARTER OF BEEF boxes for 2025. We have only one 10kg Grass Fed Beef Box left. Order here on our website store. To pick up in December at Farmers Markets. Then we are totally sold out of our Beef Boxes for 2025. If you want it, get it today.
This weekend is another fab Farmers Market.
With our farms Grass Fed Spring Lamb at our super local Mount Pleasant Farmers Market.
Look foward to seeing you there at 8am opening for Grass Fed Lamb BY THE CUT. What I learnt from our first market last month is that you LOVE LAMB at Mount Pleasant Farmers Market!
So I would get your skates on and get in early this Saturday to make sure that you are well stocked with all our grass fed spring lamb cuts in your freezer.
Love to you all, Misses Farmer X
