Homemade Sloppy Joes are a classic comfort food that’s easy to make and always satisfying. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound ground beef (or turkey for a lighter option)
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon mustard (yellow or Dijon)
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Hamburger buns, for serving
Instructions:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and green bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through.
- Once the meat is cooked, drain excess fat from the skillet if needed.
- Stir in ketchup, tomato paste, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve the Sloppy Joe mixture on hamburger buns, either open-faced or closed, as desired.
