Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper finely diced
- 8 oz tomato sauce 1/2 can
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp prepared mustard
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper or more to taste
- 1/2 tsp salt or more to taste
- 4 pieces Hamburger Buns
Instructions
- Begin by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once heated, add the ground beef and cook until it is browned and crumbled. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
- Add the diced onion, and red bell pepper to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook the vegetables until they are soft and tender, about 3 minutes.
- Add the tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir the ingredients together until they are well combined.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
- While the sauce is simmering, prepare the hamburger buns. You can toast them or leave them plain, depending on your preference.
- Once the sauce has thickened, it is time to assemble the sandwiches. Spoon the meat mixture onto the bottom half of each hamburger bun. Top with the other half of the bun.
- Serve the sloppy joes hot and enjoy!
