Add the ground beef to the pan, cooking thoroughly while breaking it up with a spatula until it is browned evenly. Drain excess grease if necessary.
3
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

Carefully deglaze the pan with the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. This adds depth to the flavor.

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. If the mixture becomes too thick, gradually add up to 1 cup of water until you reach your desired consistency.

While the sloppy joe mixture simmers, toast the sweet Hawaiian rolls until golden brown, then set aside.
