Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.75 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces hamburger buns
• 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Break it apart with a wooden spoon or spatula, cooking until it’s browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 2

Add the finely diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the onions are softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium. Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Simmer the mixture for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 5

While the meat mixture simmers, heat a separate skillet or griddle over medium heat. Spread butter on the cut sides of the hamburger buns and toast them in the skillet until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Spoon the Sloppy Joe mixture onto the bottom halves of the toasted buns, then place the bun tops on. Serve warm.
