Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup Diet Coke
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 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 spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet, then add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 3-5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the Diet Coke, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly if desired. Spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom half of each bun, top with the other half, and serve immediately.
Enjoy your sweet, tangy, and delicious Diet Coke Sloppy Joes!
