Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 small green bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.75 cup BBQ sauce
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 4 buns hamburger buns
- 2 tbsp butter (optional, for toasting buns)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small crumbles with a spoon as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed.
Add the diced onion and green bell pepper to the skillet with the cooked beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the BBQ sauce, ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir until everything is evenly combined.
Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
While the sloppy joe mixture simmers, you can toast the hamburger buns (optional). Spread a thin layer of butter on the cut sides of the buns and toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown.
Spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom halves of the buns. Place the top halves of the buns on top to form sandwiches.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
