🥘 Ingredients

15 items

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, finely diced
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 cup canned tomato sauce
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 6 pieces hamburger buns
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, optional (for toasting buns)

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease if necessary.

2. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

3. Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, and paprika, coating the beef and vegetables evenly with the spices.

4. Reduce the heat to medium and add the tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

5. Turn off the heat and gently stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and evenly incorporated into the chili mixture.

6. If desired, toast the hamburger buns by spreading a thin layer of butter on the cut sides and placing them in a heated skillet or on a griddle until golden brown.

7. Scoop the chili cheese mixture onto the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Place the top halves of the buns on and serve warm.

8. Enjoy your delicious Chili Cheese Sloppy Joes with a side of fries, chips, or a crisp salad!
