Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 medium, finely chopped Yellow onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 cup Tomato sauce
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 tsp Yellow mustard
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 4 pieces Toasted burger buns
• 1 tbsp Butter (optional, for toasting buns)
• 8 pieces Pickle slices (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Once the oil is heated, add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 4

Increase the heat slightly and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook the beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until it is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 6

Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef evenly.

Step 7

Meanwhile, optionally spread butter on the burger buns and toast them on a hot skillet or grill until golden and slightly crisp.

Step 8

Spoon the sloppy Joe mixture generously onto the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add pickle slices on top if desired, and place the top bun over the filling.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Sloppy Joe Burgers!
