Classic Sloppy Joe Sandwiches
Ingredients
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 3/4 cup ketchup, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 6 hamburger buns, split
Instructions
1
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat, allowing it to warm up for a few moments.
2
Cook and stir lean ground beef in the hot skillet until some of the fat begins to melt, usually taking around 3-4 minutes.
3
Add sliced onions and bell peppers; continue to cook until the vegetables have become tender and the beef is fully cooked, taking an additional 3-5 minutes.
4
Stir in ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and garlic powder; add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
5
Gradually decrease the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 20-30 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together.
6
Divide the meat mixture into equal portions and place them on hamburger buns.
