with Mozz, Green Pepper & Potato Wedges

- Soy
- Wheat
- Milk

Are you the type of person who only goes to baseball games for that huge sausage and pepper hoagie? We’re with you, and that’s why our chefs mashed-up the beloved stadium fare with everyone’s fave weeknight dish. They swapped out sausage links for ground beef simmered in a punchy, ketchup-and-mustard-spiked sauce for a tangy kick. The savory mixture is then topped with melty mozz and a tangle of green pepper and onion, and piled into toasty potato buns. Oh, and did we mention there’s crispy potato wedges on the side? Yeah, we think it’s safe to say this dish knocks it out of the park.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. • Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Halve, peel, and thinly slice half the onion (whole onion for 4 servings). Halve, core, and thinly slice green pepper. Peel and mince garlic. • Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until golden brown and crispy, 20-25 minutes.
• While potatoes roast, in a small bowl, combine ketchup, mustard, stock concentrate, ponzu, cornstarch, and 1⁄3 cup water (½ cup for 4 servings).
• Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add green pepper and cook until slightly softened, 2-3 minutes. • Add sliced onion and cook until veggies are browned and tender, 4-6 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. • Transfer to a medium bowl; cover to keep warm.
• Heat another drizzle of olive oil in pan used for veggies over medium-high heat. Add beef* and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. TIP: If there’s excess grease in your pan, carefully pour it out. • Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Add sauce and bring to a boil. Cook until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Evenly top beef filling with mozzarella; cover pan until cheese melts, 1 minute. Remove pan from heat. • Halve and toast buns.
• Fill buns with beef filling and veggies. Divide sloppy joes between plates and serve with potato wedges on the side.

Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the unique, delicious sauce; some found it reminiscent of a Philly cheesesteak rather than traditional sloppy joes.
- Ease of prep: Customers appreciated how quick and simple this meal was to prepare, with clear instructions for timing components.
- Suggestions: Consider dicing the peppers and onions smaller or mixing them into the meat for easier eating.
- Leftovers: Several noted the generous portions, with enough filling to make extra sandwiches beyond the intended servings.
- Buns: While some enjoyed the potato buns, others found them too thick or hard; softer buns might work better.
Reviews from our home cooks
Sloppy Joes had great flavor and paired nicely with the onions and green peppers. To make this truly feel like a Ballpark meal, the fries needed like an Old Bay type seasoning, something unique.
This dish was really good. I'm not a big potato bun fan, but it was great toasted in this recipe. Really great take on sloppy joes. My pepper arrived frozen so it was limp and not the greatest which is the reason for one less star. Otherwise, we really enjoyed it.
The Ballpark Sloppy Joe's were very tasty, but prep time was twice as long as the directions stated.
The potatoes were very good! The sloppy joe could have a little more tomato sauce. I also think the green peppers & onions would be better mixed in with the meat.
The potatoes for the wedges were a lot smaller than I thought I was getting. Some of the wedges were extremely tiny. I understand that the produce available isn't all the same size, but it was a little disappointing that some were the size of a golf ball. The sloppy joe was delicious
I have never liked sloppy joes. The sauce is always too vinegary or straight barbecue sauce. I selected this recipe for my dad but after it came and I saw the mix for the sauce, I decided to give it a try. So amazing! One of my favorite recipes.
Loved this meal! A new favorite at our house! The sautéed long green peppers and onions was a perfect sloppy joe topping.
My husband and I enjoyed these easy to make sloppy joes! Easy directions and very different flavors to an old favorite!
Was expecting a different taste that I'm used to when I have made sloppy joe in the past but this was so much better, great flavors
These were appreciated by the whole family. A different yet yummy sloppy Joe. I needed to pair with a green salad to round out the meal. But an altogether good experience!
