Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 1 medium, diced green bell pepper
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 0.75 cup ketchup
- 1 cup Coca Cola
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces hamburger buns
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Add the diced onion and green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the ketchup, Coca Cola, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Simmer the mixture for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Toast the hamburger buns if desired. Spoon the Sloppy Joe mixture onto the bottom halves of the buns and cover with the top halves.
Serve warm and enjoy!
