9 steps

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and the ground beef.

2. Cook the ground beef until browned and no longer pink, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.

3. Reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened.

4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.

5. Add the salsa, tomato paste, brown sugar, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

6. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, stirring occasionally.

7. Toast the burger buns lightly, if desired.

8. Spoon the salsa Sloppy Joe mixture onto the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Add optional toppings such as shredded cheese, sliced jalapeños, or chopped cilantro for extra flavor.

9. Top with the other halves of the buns and serve hot. Enjoy your Salsa Sloppy Joes!
