Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, finely diced
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 cup canned tomato sauce
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 6 pieces hamburger buns
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, optional (for toasting buns)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease if necessary.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, and paprika, coating the beef and vegetables evenly with the spices.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 5

Turn off the heat and gently stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and evenly incorporated into the chili mixture.

Step 6

If desired, toast the hamburger buns by spreading a thin layer of butter on the cut sides and placing them in a heated skillet or on a griddle until golden brown.

Step 7

Scoop the chili cheese mixture onto the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Place the top halves of the buns on and serve warm.

Step 8

Enjoy your delicious Chili Cheese Sloppy Joes with a side of fries, chips, or a crisp salad!
