Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Wooden spoon
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Hamburger buns for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink, using a wooden spoon to break it up for even cooking.
  • Add diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the cooked beef, sautéing until vegetables are soft and translucent, blending their flavors with the beef.
  • Stir in ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper, ensuring all ingredients are well combined for a rich and savory sauce. Let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes to meld the flavors.
  • Meanwhile, toast hamburger buns in a separate skillet or toaster until golden brown and slightly crisp, providing a delightful contrast in texture to the savory filling.
  • Generously spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom halves of each toasted bun, ensuring each serving is hearty and satisfying with a perfect balance of meat and sauce.
  • Top each filled bun with its matching half to create a delicious sandwich ready to be served hot, offering a comforting and flavorful meal for everyone to enjoy.
