Sloppy Joe

Cooking the Ground Beef In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, onions, and green pepper until the beef is no longer pink and the vegetables are tender. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Preparing the Sloppy Joe Sauce Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, mustard powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer the mixture for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors are well combined and the sauce has thickened.

Assembling the Sloppy Joe Sandwich Spoon the meat mixture onto the bottom halves of the toasted hamburger buns. Cover with the top halves of the buns and serve hot.
