Description
These drunken sloppy joes were inspired by by the drunken meatballs recipe that i make (recipe #276860). I had a gathering with a group of friends that usually request the drunken meatballs but i wanted to try to do something else. So, i looked at what i had in the house and came up with drunken sloppy joes. I am sure any kind of bourbon would work but i drink so little (funny considering this recipe) that i have been working through the same bottle of southern comfort since christmas.

Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large and deep pan

- This takes about 5 minutes, stirring often
- Crumble in the ground beef and cook, stirring when needed, until all of the meat is browned
- This took me about 8 minutes

- Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer and continue to simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring now and then
