Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 pounds Ground beef (or ground turkey, if preferred)
- 10 large Onions, finely diced
- 10 large Green bell peppers, finely diced
- 10 cups Tomato sauce
- 15 cups Ketchup
- 2.5 cups Brown sugar
- 1.25 cups Worcestershire sauce
- 1.25 cups Yellow mustard
- 4 tablespoons Garlic powder
- 4 tablespoons Salt
- 4 tablespoons Black pepper
- 100 pieces Hamburger buns
Instructions
In a very large pot or multiple large skillets, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat in batches, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set the beef aside in a separate container.
Using the same pot or skillets, sauté the diced onions and green bell peppers over medium heat until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the cooked ground beef back into the pot along with the sautéed onions and peppers. Stir to combine.
Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and to allow the flavors to meld together.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or sweetness to your preference.
To serve, spoon a generous portion of the sloppy joe mixture onto each of the hamburger buns. Serve warm.
