Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 0.75 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons butter, optional (for toasting buns)
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat and add the ground beef.
Cook the beef until it is browned and crumbled, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the diced onion and green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
While the beef mixture simmers, butter the cut sides of the hamburger buns and toast them in a separate skillet or under the broiler until golden brown (optional).
Spoon the hot sloppy beef mixture onto the bottom halves of the toasted buns and top with the other halves of the buns.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries, coleslaw, or a simple salad.
