Sloppy Giuseppes
Recipe by Michael Chiarello for Progresso® Foods

1 1/2 lb ground pork sausage
1 tablespoon fennel seed
1/4 cup chili powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt or kosher (coarse) salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 medium onion, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
1/2 cup dry red wine or nonalcoholic red wine
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 can (28 oz) Progresso® crushed tomatoes with added puree
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
Chicken broth, beef broth or water for thinning sauce, if desired
6 large soft hamburger buns, split

1. In large bowl, mix sausage, fennel seed, chili powder, salt and pepper.

2. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook sausage mixture over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and no longer pink. Remove sausage from the skillet; set aside. Drain all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet.

3. Return skillet to medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook 4 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until onion is softened. Stir in wine, tomato paste, tomatoes and oregano. Heat to boiling. Stir in sausage; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered about 15 minutes or until heated through. If mixture is too thick, thin it with a little broth or water. Serve sausage mixture in buns.

6 sandwiches

Tip: Add a little extra-virgin olive oil if the meat is lean. You can substitute finely ground chicken or turkey for this sandwich.
