Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 Burger buns
• 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for toasting buns)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and becomes translucent.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.

Step 5

Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken.

Step 6

While the meat mixture simmers, optionally toast the burger buns. Spread butter on the cut sides of the buns and toast them in a separate skillet over medium heat until lightly golden, about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Spoon the Sloppy Joe mixture onto the bottom halves of the buns, then top with the other half of each bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy!
