In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and crumbly. (5-7 minutes). Drain off any excess grease.

02

Step
2 mins

Add ketchup, chili sauce, onion, green bell pepper, brown sugar, and mustard powder to the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir well to combine.

03

Step
15 mins

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until the flavors have melded together beautifully. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. (approximately 15 minutes)

04

Step
1 mins

Spoon the Sloppy Joe mixture generously onto the prepared hamburger buns. Serve immediately, savoring each delicious bite.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of Worcestershire sauce or a pinch of smoked paprika to the mixture.
Toasting the hamburger buns lightly before serving adds a delightful textural contrast.
Feel free to customize the sweetness level by adjusting the amount of brown sugar to your liking.
Consider adding some heat with a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce.
These Sloppy Joes can be made ahead of time and reheated gently on the stovetop or in a slow cooker. This is great for meal prepping!
