This hearty dinner recipe takes less than thirty minutes from start to finish and produces four large sandwiches.
You could use regular sized hamburger buns instead of the large ones to make six smaller sandwiches.
To make these spaghetti sloppy joes, I started by cooking some lean ground beef in a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
I added some diced onions to the pan with the ground beef while it was cooking.
I continued cooking the ground beef and onions, crumbling the ground beef well.
Once the ground beef was fully cooked, I drained the grease from the pan.
Then I added some water to the pan.
I broke some spaghetti noodles into quarters and added them to the pan.
I stirred gently to spread the spaghetti noodles out.
I left the pan over medium-high heat and placed a lid on the pan.
I cooked the spaghetti noodles for four minutes and then removed the lid from the pan.
Then I stirred the spaghetti and ground beef together well.
I added some marinara sauce to the pan.
I stirred until all of the spaghetti and ground beef were coated in marinara.
Then I added some salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder to the pan.
I stirred well again.
I reduced the heat to low and left the pan to sit while I prepared the buns.
I placed four large hamburger buns in a single layer on a baking sheet and spread them with garlic margarine.
Then I placed the buns in a 400F oven until they were lightly toasted.
I added some shredded mozzarella to the pan with the spaghetti.
I stirred the cheese into the spaghetti until it melted.
Then I scooped the spaghetti mixture on to the toasted buns.
These sandwiches are a fun combination of the classic sloppy joe and spaghetti bolognese.
