Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and the ground beef.

Cook the ground beef until browned and no longer pink, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.

Add the salsa, tomato paste, brown sugar, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, stirring occasionally.

Toast the burger buns lightly, if desired.
Step 8
Spoon the salsa Sloppy Joe mixture onto the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Add optional toppings such as shredded cheese, sliced jalapeños, or chopped cilantro for extra flavor.
