Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3 cups ketchup
- 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
Instructions
In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, add the ground beef.
Break up the ground beef into small crumbles using a spatula or wooden spoon as it cooks.
Cook the ground beef until fully browned and no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Lower the heat to medium and stir in the ketchup and yellow mustard, mixing thoroughly to coat the beef evenly.
Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if desired (e.g., add a pinch of salt or pepper).
Serve the Sloppy Joe filling warm on hamburger buns, sandwich rolls, or over rice, if preferred.
