Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 0.5 cup Yellow onion, diced
• 0.5 cup Green bell pepper, diced (optional)
• 1 cup Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Yellow mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 4 Hamburger buns
• 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for toasting buns)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until the beef is browned and no longer pink, about 6-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the pan, if needed.

Step 4

Stir in ketchup, tomato paste, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 6

While the sloppy joe filling simmers, optional: Toast the hamburger buns. Spread a small amount of butter on the cut sides of the buns and toast them in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown.

Step 7

Spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom halves of the buns, then top with the remaining bun halves. Serve warm and enjoy!
