Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil (1 tablespoon) in a large skillet. Add the white and light green parts of the green onions, as well as the diced red bell pepper. Sauté until softened and starting to brown.
- Add the ground beef (1 pound.) to the skillet and cook/brown completely, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as you go.
- Add the Korean BBQ sauce (1/2 cup) to the skillet. Stir together and bring to a simmer on low, simmering for 5 minutes or so uncovered until sauce has thickened. Stir in the dark green onions parts.
- Divide the beef mixture into the hamburger buns (4), garnish with more dark green onion parts if you have them, and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using. Serve.
Notes
- Alternatively, use slider buns for 8 small sloppy joe sliders.
- There are many different kinds of prepared Korean BBQ sauce - spicy and mild, made for ribs or chicken, etc. I used CJ Foods Original Sauce for Ribs. Aim for one that goes with beef, but you also really can't go wrong here! You can also make your own.
- Lighten it up by using ground turkey instead of beef.
- Make it vegetarian by using beyond meat or a suitable ground beef substitute.
- Make it gluten free by using gluten-free buns.
