What You’ll Need
Time to gather our ingredients! Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these irresistible Sloppy Joes:
- 1 pound ground beef (or turkey if you’re feeling healthy)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 cup ketchup (the more, the messier!)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon mustard (or more if you fancy)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 hamburger buns
- Optional toppings: pickles, cheese, maybe a sprinkle of magic!
Let’s Get Cooking!
Now that we have everything assembled, it’s time to turn up the heat! Here’s how to make your Sloppy Joes:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until it’s fully cooked. Drain any excess fat unless you’re living dangerously!
- Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent—about 5 minutes, folks!
- Now, let’s bring in the flavor! Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and some salt and pepper. Mix it all together, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. You want all those flavors to mingle and throw a party!
- While that’s happening, toast your hamburger buns lightly—because no one likes a soggy bottom, right?
- Finally, scoop that deliciously messy Sloppy Joe mixture onto the toasted buns. Add all the optional toppings you desire, and brace yourself for a flavor explosion!
