Easy Sloppy Joes Recipe

Instructions

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.

2. Add the chopped onion, diced bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked ground beef. Cook for a few minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

3. Stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well to combine.

4. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken.

5. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. If the mixture looks too dry, you can add a splash of water to reach your desired consistency.

6. Toast the hamburger buns in a separate skillet or in the oven until lightly golden.

7. To serve, spoon the delicious sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom half of each hamburger bun. Top with the other half of the bun and enjoy the warm, savory goodness.
