Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon butter unsalted
- ½ onion chopped
- ½ green bell pepper finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup ketchup
- 1 cup tomato sauce or tomato passata
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Brown the beef: Add the butter to a large skillet and melt it over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the ground beef and cook, stirring often and breaking apart as you go, until the beef is fully cooked.
- Sauté veg: To the same skillet add the onion and bell pepper. Stir occasionally and cook until the onion is softened and translucent, 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
- Simmer: Add the rest of the ingredients to the skillet and stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and glossy.
- Finish: Spoon over halved buns and serve.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Nutritional information does not include buns.
- If you like your sloppy joes runnier, add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of beef or chicken broth before simmering it.
- Try toasting your buns for a crunchier bun or if you don't like your buns soaking up all the sloppy goodness.
- You can also make this in the slow cooker for 6 hours on low.
- Let the sloppy joes cool down fully before transferring to an airtight container and storing in the fridge. Leftovers will last 3-4 days.
