Sloppy Joe Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Chop the onion and green bell pepper. Mince the garlic and set all the vegetables aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Beef

   In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, stirring occasionally to break it up, approximately 5-7 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Vegetables

   Drain any excess fat from the skillet. Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 3-5 minutes.

4. 4

   Mix in Sauce Ingredients

   Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

5. 5

   Simmer the Mixture

   Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld together.

6. 6

   Prepare the Buns

   While the mixture is simmering, lightly toast the hamburger buns in a separate skillet or under the broiler if desired.

7. 7

   Assemble the Sloppy Joes

   Spoon a generous portion of the sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted hamburger bun. Place the top half of the bun over the filling.

8. 8

   Serve

   Serve the sloppy joes hot with your favorite sides, such as potato chips or a salad.
