Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 Burger buns
- 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for toasting buns)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken.
While the meat mixture simmers, optionally toast the burger buns. Spread butter on the cut sides of the buns and toast them in a separate skillet over medium heat until lightly golden, about 2 minutes.
Spoon the Sloppy Joe mixture onto the bottom halves of the buns, then top with the other half of each bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
