Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 Burger buns
- 3 tablespoons Butter, softened
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the BBQ sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld together and the consistency becomes thick and saucy.
While the mixture simmers, lightly butter the inside of the burger buns and toast them on a skillet or griddle until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Spoon the saucy mixture generously onto the toasted burger buns.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Saucy BBQ Sloppy Joes!
