Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 0.75 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 6 buns hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for toasting buns)
Instructions
Finely chop the onion and green bell pepper. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and no pink remains. Drain excess grease if needed.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
While the Sloppy Beef is simmering, you can optionally toast the hamburger buns. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat and toast the cut sides of the buns until golden brown.
Spoon a generous portion of the Sloppy Beef mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the top half of the bun on and serve immediately.
