Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef
- 1 Yellow onion, diced
- 1 Green bell pepper, diced
- 2 teaspoons Minced garlic
- 15 ounces Tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 Hamburger buns
Instructions
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
Add the diced onion, diced green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Transfer the cooked beef and vegetables to the slow cooker.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the tomato sauce, tomato paste, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, yellow mustard, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and vegetables in the slow cooker. Stir to coat everything evenly.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the cooking time is complete, taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the sloppy joe mixture on hamburger buns. Optionally, garnish with pickles or coleslaw.
