Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Tomato sauce
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Mustard
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 Hamburger buns
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the diced onion and green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low and mix in the tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Simmer the mixture for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Toast the hamburger buns if desired, then spoon the sloppy joe mixture evenly onto the bottom halves of the buns.
Top with the other half of the buns and serve warm. Enjoy!
