Serves 4
Directions
- 1Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add the carrots, garlic, and a hefty pinch of kosher salt. Cook, stirring often, until the carrots are tender and the garlic is fragrant.
- 2Add the ground beef along with another hefty pinch of salt. Break the meat into very small crumbles with a wooden spoon or spatula as it cooks.
- 3Once the beef is browned and cooked through, carefully drain or blot away any excess grease.
- 4Stir in the marinara sauce and brown sugar. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer.
- 5Turn the broiler on. Arrange the buns cut-side up on a baking sheet. Drizzle the cut sides generously with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with the garlic salt. Broil until golden brown and crisp.
- 6Spoon the Italian sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom buns.
- 7Top each with torn burrata, a pinch of flaky salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and the sliced basil. Finish with the top buns and serve immediately.
