Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 0.75 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional, for toasting buns)
Instructions
In 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 fat if needed.
Add the diced onion and green bell pepper to the skillet with the cooked beef. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
Let the mixture simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the flavors meld together.
Optional: While the filling is simmering, lightly spread butter on the inside of the hamburger buns and toast them in a separate skillet or grill pan until golden brown.
Spoon the Sloppy Joe mixture onto the toasted buns and serve warm. For an extra indulgence, pair with pickles, coleslaw, or a side of potato chips.
