How To Make Sloppy Joe Dip
To make it, start by heating oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add beef and cook, stirring often, until the meat crumbles and is no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Next, add the onion and garlic, and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, ketchup, Dijon, brown sugar, tomato paste, Worcestershire, vinegar, paprika, red pepper, and salt.
Reduce the heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheese.

Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese and bake at 400°Fahrenheit until the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
