Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.75 cup ketchup
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup water
- 6 pieces hamburger buns
- 2 tbsp butter (optional, for toasting buns)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, brown sugar, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine with the beef and vegetables.
Pour in the water and stir. Lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer, uncovered, for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
While the beef mixture is simmering, you can toast the hamburger buns if desired. Spread a thin layer of butter on the inside of each bun and toast them in a skillet or on a griddle over medium heat until golden brown.
Spoon a generous amount of the Sloppy Joe mixture onto the bottom half of each bun. Place the top half of the bun on top and serve immediately.
Optionally, you can serve with a side of coleslaw or potato chips for a complete meal.
