Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Step 2
Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Step 3
Stir in the ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 5
Toast the hamburger buns lightly, if desired, and spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom half of each bun. Top with the other half of the bun.
Step 6
Serve immediately while hot with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, potato chips, or a pickle on the side.
