Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (85% lean)
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 0.5 medium green bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.75 cup ketchup
- 0.5 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for toasting buns)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Step 2
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-6 minutes.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, yellow mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the beef and vegetables. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the meat.
Step 5
If desired, toast the hamburger buns: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a clean skillet over medium heat, then toast the cut sides of the buns until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Step 6
Spoon the sloppy BBQ Joe mixture onto the bottom halves of the buns. Top with the other halves and serve immediately. Enjoy!
