Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 7–8 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Reduce the heat to low. Stir in ketchup, yellow mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Simmer the mixture over low heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef evenly.
Toast the burger buns lightly if desired.
Spoon the Sloppy Joe mixture onto the bottom halves of each bun, then add the tops.
Serve warm and enjoy!
