Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 Small onion, diced
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 0.5 cup Root beer
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Yellow mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 Burger buns
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked through. Drain excess fat, if needed.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the ketchup, root beer, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, yellow mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Simmer the mixture for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the meat.
Toast the burger buns lightly, if desired.
Spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom half of each bun and top with the other half.
Serve warm and enjoy!
