Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 burger buns
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (optional, for toasting buns)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Add the diced onion and green bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and break it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat if needed.
Stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Mix well to combine.
Add the paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Lower the heat to a simmer and let the mixture cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the flavors meld together.
While the filling is simmering, if desired, butter the burger buns and toast them on a griddle or skillet until golden brown.
Spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom halves of the toasted buns and cover with the top halves.
Serve immediately and enjoy with your favorite side dishes!
