Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 small green bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons butter, for toasting buns
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the diced onion and green bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3–4 minutes, or until soft and fragrant.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked through, about 5–6 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Simmer the mixture on low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
While the beef mixture is simmering, heat a separate skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Place the hamburger buns, cut side down, in the skillet and toast until golden brown, about 1–2 minutes.
Spoon the Sloppy Joe mixture onto the toasted buns and serve immediately.
