In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat and add the ground beef.
Cook the beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.
Drain the excess grease from the skillet and return it to the heat.
Add the diced onion, diced green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the ketchup, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, yellow mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and thoroughly coats the beef and vegetable mixture.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly if desired, and spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom halves of the buns.
Top with the other half of the buns and serve warm.
