Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 hamburger buns
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly, if desired, and spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom half of each bun. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately while hot with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, potato chips, or a pickle on the side.
