Sloppy Tom

Sloppy Tom is the kind of thing i just came to know about yesterday and had today for the first time. Basically its a kind of burger that is filled with mince turkey, but i have used lamb instead coz i cudnt get turkey from the nearby butchery. Its quite easier to cook and takes less time than a typical burger.

Ingredients for Sloppy Toms
250 gm mince meat/turkey/beef
2 medium sized bell peppers, diced
2 medium onions, diced
4 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tbsp chilli sauce (more or less according to ur taste-buds)
salt
1/2 tsp crushed peppercorns
1 tbsp oil
4 burger buns

1. Heat oil in a pan and add garlic, followed by onions and bell pepper after some seconds. cook for aprox 3-4 minutes.
2. add mince meat, followed by salt, pepper and few drips of chilli sauce. mix thoroughly, cover the pan and cook for 20-25 minutes on medium flame. Saute on high flame in the end if mixture is soggy as we need it to be dry in order to fill in the burger
3. now toast the buns on griddle or hot plate and brown them slightly.
4. fill the meat between buns and serve with fries or wedges. ENJOY!!!


If you want to cook Sloppy Toms for somebody whos vegetarian then use crushed cottage cheese and soy chunks instead. Still the meat one tastes better but dont tell it to the vegetarians ;)
