Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.75 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 0.25 cup water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons butter, optional (for toasting buns)
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and no longer pink. This should take about 7-8 minutes.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet and return it to the stove.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the ground beef and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is softened and translucent.
Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, chili powder, tomato paste, water, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken.
While the beef mixture is simmering, optionally toast the hamburger buns: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and toast the cut sides of the buns until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom halves of the hamburger buns, then top with the other halves. Serve warm and enjoy!
