Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 small green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.75 cup ketchup
- 0.5 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat and add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon or spatula.
Cook the beef for about 5-7 minutes, until it's browned and fully cooked through. Drain off any excess fat.
Lower the heat to medium and add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Stir in the ketchup, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the beef and vegetables in the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Allow the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
While the mixture is simmering, lightly toast the hamburger buns (optional) for added texture and flavor.
Spoon the sloppy joe mixture generously onto the bottom half of each bun. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve warm and enjoy your Hamburger Barbecue Sloppy Joes with a side of chips, fries, or a crisp salad.
