Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 oz Ground beef
- 2 tbsp Ketchup
- 1 tsp Mustard
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Brown sugar
- 0.25 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp Onion powder
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 Soft hamburger bun
- 0.5 tsp Butter
Instructions
Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula, until fully browned and no pink remains. Drain excess fat if needed.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Simmer the mixture for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef.
While the beef is simmering, lightly butter the hamburger bun and toast it in a separate skillet or toaster until golden brown.
Spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom half of the toasted bun, then place the top half of the bun on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Sloppy Joe for One!
