Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 1 small green bell pepper, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 buns hamburger buns (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 2

Push the ground beef to one side of the skillet and add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the other side. Cook the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they are softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Combine the cooked vegetables with the ground beef in the skillet. Stir well.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients.

Step 5

Simmer the mixture for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 6

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more ketchup for sweetness, mustard for tang, or spices for additional flavor.

Step 7

Remove from heat and serve warm. Spoon the Sloppy Joe mix onto hamburger buns, or use as a topping for baked potatoes, nachos, or rice for an alternative serving option.
