Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 0.75 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 6 buns hamburger buns
• 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for toasting buns)

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the onion and green bell pepper. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and no pink remains. Drain excess grease if needed.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.

Step 6

While the Sloppy Beef is simmering, you can optionally toast the hamburger buns. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat and toast the cut sides of the buns until golden brown.

Step 7

Spoon a generous portion of the Sloppy Beef mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the top half of the bun on and serve immediately.
