• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 1 medium Green bell pepper, finely diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup BBQ sauce
• 1 cup Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 6 Burger buns
• 3 tablespoons Butter, softened

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld together and the consistency becomes thick and saucy.

Step 7

While the mixture simmers, lightly butter the inside of the burger buns and toast them on a skillet or griddle until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Spoon the saucy mixture generously onto the toasted burger buns.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Saucy BBQ Sloppy Joes!
