In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula.
Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet if necessary.
Stir in the chicken gumbo soup, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, and brown sugar. Combine thoroughly.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Add more Worcestershire sauce or ketchup for additional flavor, if desired.
Toast hamburger buns lightly if preferred.
Spoon the sloppy joe mixture generously onto the bottom half of each bun, then top with the other half.
Serve hot and enjoy your Sloppy Joes with Chicken Gumbo!
