Homemade Sloppy Joes

These Sloppy Joes are made with ground beef, a rich tomato sauce, and seasonings that create an irresistible blend of savory and slightly sweet flavors. Serve them on toasted hamburger buns and watch them become a favorite among family and friends.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
1 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon mustard (preferably yellow)
Salt and pepper to taste
4 hamburger buns

Instructions

In a large skillet, over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is browned. Make sure to break it apart with a spatula for even cooking.
Once the beef is browned, drain any excess grease from the pan. Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper, cooking until they are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, and season with salt and pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined.
Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
While the mixture simmers, toast the hamburger buns until they are golden brown.
Once the mixture has thickened and heated through, spoon it generously onto the bottom halves of the toasted buns.
Top each Sloppy Joe with the other half of the bun and serve immediately, enjoying the satisfying messy goodness!

These homemade Sloppy Joes are perfect for a casual dinner or a weekend gathering. Their flavorful combination will surely impress your guests and keep everyone coming back for seconds. Enjoy this hearty dish with a side of fries or a crisp salad for a balanced meal.
