Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 1 small Green bell pepper, finely diced
• 1 cup Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar, packed
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons Yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 Hamburger buns
• 2 tablespoons Butter, softened

Directions

Step 1

Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and green bell pepper to the skillet with the cooked ground beef. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

Simmer the mixture on medium-low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 5

Meanwhile, lightly butter the inside of each hamburger bun. Toast the buns on a griddle or skillet over medium heat until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Spoon a generous portion of the sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 7

Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as chips, coleslaw, or pickles. Enjoy!
