1 lb ground beef a staple for juicy, flavorful filling.
1 large onion, thinly sliced brings that sweet, caramelized goodness unique to French onion flavors.
2 cloves garlic, minced adds depth and aroma, enhancing the overall taste.
1 cup beef broth infuses moisture and richness, keeping your sloppy joes juicy.
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce a dash of umami to elevate the savory notes.
1 teaspoon dried thyme imparts an aromatic earthiness that complements the beef beautifully.
Salt and pepper to taste essential for balancing flavors and enhancing every bite.

4 pieces hamburger buns choose soft, fresh buns for the perfect vessel.
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese melts wonderfully, adding a creamy, nutty flavor to your French Onion Beef Sloppy Joes.

Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, heat over medium heat and brown the ground beef until it's nice and crumbled, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease to keep it lean and savory.
Sauté Onions and Garlic: Add the thinly sliced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onions caramelize and turn golden, about 5-6 minutes, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Combine the Flavors: Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Add the dried thyme, salt, and pepper, and stir well. This combination will create a glorious, savory mixture.
Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes. You'll see it thicken up beautifully, creating a hearty filling that's jacketed in flavor.
Toast the Buns: While the beef mixture is simmering, lightly toast your hamburger buns until golden brown. This step adds the perfect crunch and helps hold all the delicious ingredients.
Assemble the Sloppy Joes: Spoon the flavorful beef mixture generously onto each toasted bun. Top it off with a sprinkle of shredded Swiss cheese that will melt perfectly into the warm filling.
Serve with Joy: Plate your French Onion Beef Sloppy Joes while they're hot and fresh. Prepare for everyone to dig in, savoring every cheesy, meaty bite!

For a complete meal, consider serving with a side of crispy fries or a fresh garden salad.
