Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 0.5 medium green bell pepper, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.75 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces hamburger buns
• 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for toasting buns)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and become fragrant.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Allow the mixture to simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and fully coats the beef.

Step 5

Meanwhile, if desired, lightly butter the cut sides of the hamburger buns and toast them in a separate skillet over medium heat until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Spoon the sloppy joe mixture generously onto the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the top bun on and serve immediately.

Step 7

Optional: Serve with a side of coleslaw, pickles, or chips for the ultimate comfort meal!
