In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until it is browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add the finely diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Pour in the water and stir. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat and let the mixture sit for a minute to cool slightly.
Serve the Sloppy Joe mix warm on hamburger buns, or use it as a topping for baked potatoes or nachos. Enjoy!
