Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Tomato sauce
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet and return it to the heat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent.
Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if needed.
Toast the hamburger buns, if desired, for extra flavor and texture.
Spoon the Sloppy Joe mixture generously onto the bottom halves of the buns, then top with the other halves to assemble sandwiches.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
