Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 0.75 cup ketchup
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 4 pieces brioche buns
• 2 tbsp butter

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Finely dice the onion and bell pepper, then mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked through.

Step 6

Drain any excess grease from the skillet, if needed.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 8

Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef.

Step 9

While the beef mixture simmers, slice the brioche buns in half and spread butter on the cut sides.

Step 10

Toast the buttered brioche buns on a griddle or skillet over medium heat until golden brown and slightly crisp, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 11

Spoon the prepared beef mixture generously onto the bottom halves of the toasted buns.

Step 12

Top with the other halves of the buns and serve immediately. Enjoy your Sloppy Curts!
