Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium, diced Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 0.75 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces, toasted Hamburger buns
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high 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 from the skillet and return it to the heat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Simmer the mixture on low heat for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly for added texture and flavor.
Spoon the sloppy joe mixture generously onto the bottom half of each bun. Place the top half of each bun onto the mixture and serve immediately.
Optional: Serve with a side of coleslaw, pickles, or chips for a complete meal.
