Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 small green bell pepper, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.75 cup ketchup
• 0.5 cup barbecue sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 hamburger buns

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat and add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon or spatula.

Step 2

Cook the beef for about 5-7 minutes, until it's browned and fully cooked through. Drain off any excess fat.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium and add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the ketchup, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the beef and vegetables in the sauce.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Allow the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 6

While the mixture is simmering, lightly toast the hamburger buns (optional) for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Spoon the sloppy joe mixture generously onto the bottom half of each bun. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy your Hamburger Barbecue Sloppy Joes with a side of chips, fries, or a crisp salad.
