Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 1 small green bell pepper, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.75 cup BBQ sauce
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 1 tbsp yellow mustard
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 4 buns hamburger buns
• 2 tbsp butter (optional, for toasting buns)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small crumbles with a spoon as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and green bell pepper to the skillet with the cooked beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the BBQ sauce, ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir until everything is evenly combined.

Step 5

Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 6

While the sloppy joe mixture simmers, you can toast the hamburger buns (optional). Spread a thin layer of butter on the cut sides of the buns and toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown.

Step 7

Spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom halves of the buns. Place the top halves of the buns on top to form sandwiches.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy!
