These crowd-pleasing Sloppy Joes are a nostalgic favorite that will take you right back to your childhood! This simple recipe, passed down from my mom, always earns rave reviews. The combination of savory ground beef, sweet ketchup, and tangy mustard creates a deliciously saucy filling that pairs perfectly with soft hamburger buns.
Ingredients
-
-
-
1 pound lean ground beef
-
¼ cup chopped onion
-
¼ cup chopped green bell pepper
-
¾ cup ketchup (or to taste)
-
1 tablespoon brown sugar (or to taste)
-
1 teaspoon yellow mustard (or to taste)
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder
-
Salt and ground black pepper (to taste)
-
6 hamburger buns, split
-
-
Directions
-
Cook the beef and vegetables.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until some fat starts to render, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper. Continue to cook until the vegetables have softened and the beef is fully cooked through, about 3 to 5 more minutes. -
Add the sauce ingredients.
Drain any excess fat if needed, then stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and garlic powder. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken. -
Assemble the sandwiches.
Once the beef mixture has simmered and the sauce is rich and flavorful, divide it evenly among the hamburger buns. Serve immediately.
