Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.75 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for toasting buns)
Instructions
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 and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and green bell pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes until softened, stirring frequently.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium.
Add the ketchup, tomato paste, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and dark brown sugar. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
Sprinkle in the paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir again to fully incorporate the seasonings.
Simmer the mixture on medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef.
While the mixture simmers, lightly butter the hamburger buns if desired and toast them in a separate skillet or under a broiler until golden brown.
Spoon a generous amount of the Sloppy Joe mixture onto the bottom half of each hamburger bun. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy JJ's Ultimate Sloppy Joes!
