Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (85% lean)
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 0.5 medium green bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.75 cup ketchup
- 0.5 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for toasting buns)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-6 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, yellow mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the beef and vegetables. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the meat.
If desired, toast the hamburger buns: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a clean skillet over medium heat, then toast the cut sides of the buns until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Spoon the sloppy BBQ Joe mixture onto the bottom halves of the buns. Top with the other halves and serve immediately. Enjoy!
