Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 0.75 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons butter, optional (for toasting buns)
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat and add the ground beef.
Step 2
Cook the beef until it is browned and crumbled, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Step 3
Add the diced onion and green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Step 4
Stir in ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 6
While the beef mixture simmers, butter the cut sides of the hamburger buns and toast them in a separate skillet or under the broiler until golden brown (optional).
Step 7
Spoon the hot sloppy beef mixture onto the bottom halves of the toasted buns and top with the other halves of the buns.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries, coleslaw, or a simple salad.
