Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large hamburger buns
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup pickles, sliced

Special Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons French dressing
- 4 teaspoons sweet pickle relish
- 1 tablespoon finely minced white onion
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onions are soft. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar into the beef mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened slightly.
- While the beef simmers, prepare the special sauce by mixing mayonnaise, French dressing, sweet pickle relish, minced onion, white vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until well combined.
- Toast the hamburger buns and start assembling the Sloppy Joes: spread a generous amount of special sauce on the bottom buns, then top with the beef mixture, shredded lettuce, pickles, and cheddar cheese.
- Cap with the top buns and serve immediately.
