Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 burger buns
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (optional, for toasting buns)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet and break it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat if needed.

Step 5

Stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Mix well to combine.

Step 6

Add the paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to evenly distribute the seasonings.

Step 7

Lower the heat to a simmer and let the mixture cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the flavors meld together.

Step 8

While the filling is simmering, if desired, butter the burger buns and toast them on a griddle or skillet until golden brown.

Step 9

Spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom halves of the toasted buns and cover with the top halves.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy with your favorite side dishes!
