Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 small green bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.75 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces burger buns
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until it is browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Step 2
Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet with the browned beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Step 3
Stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld together and the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5
Toast the burger buns lightly, if desired, to prevent them from getting soggy.
Step 6
Spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom halves of the burger buns. Top with the remaining halves and serve immediately.
Step 7
Enjoy your homemade sloppy joes with your favorite side dish, like potato chips, coleslaw, or a simple green salad!
