Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 0.5 medium green bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.75 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for toasting buns)
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and become fragrant.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
Allow the mixture to simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and fully coats the beef.
Meanwhile, if desired, lightly butter the cut sides of the hamburger buns and toast them in a separate skillet over medium heat until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Spoon the sloppy joe mixture generously onto the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the top bun on and serve immediately.
Optional: Serve with a side of coleslaw, pickles, or chips for the ultimate comfort meal!
