Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 pound ground beef
  2. 1 onion, diced
  3. 1 green bell pepper, diced
  4. 1 cup ketchup
  5. 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  6. 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  7. Salt and pepper to taste
  8. 4 hamburger buns

Instructions

  1. Prepare all ingredients by dicing the onion and green bell pepper into small, uniform pieces. Measure out all sauce ingredients beforehand to ensure smooth cooking process.
  2. Place a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and break it apart using a wooden spoon or spatula, allowing it to brown evenly.
  3. Once the beef is partially cooked, add the diced onions and green bell peppers. Sauté together, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are soft and the meat is completely browned, approximately 6-8 minutes.
  4. Drain any excess fat from the skillet to prevent the dish from becoming too greasy. Return the skillet to the heat.
  5. Add ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar to the meat mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients and create a rich, tangy sauce.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer the mixture for 10-12 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
  8. Lightly toast the hamburger buns to add a crisp texture and prevent sogginess from the meat mixture.
  9. Spoon the hot Sloppy Joe mixture generously onto the toasted buns, ensuring each serving is equally portioned.
  10. Serve immediately while the mixture is hot and the buns are crisp. Optional: Accompany with pickles or coleslaw for additional flavor.

Tips

  1. Choose the right meat: Use ground beef with 80/20 fat content for maximum flavor and juiciness.
  2. Drain excess fat carefully to prevent a greasy final dish, but retain enough to keep the meat moist.
  3. For extra depth of flavor, consider adding a splash of hot sauce or a pinch of smoked paprika to the sauce.
  4. Toast the buns until they're just golden - this creates a protective barrier that prevents sogginess.
  5. Let the mixture simmer slowly to allow the flavors to develop and the sauce to thicken naturally.
  6. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can briefly pulse the diced vegetables before cooking.
  7. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and make an excellent next-day lunch.
