Homemade Sloppy Joes
Homemade Sloppy Joes are so simple to make, you’ll wonder why you ever used the canned stuff! Savory, tangy, and sweet, this sandwich will be a dinner time hit.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- ¼ cup green bell pepper finely chopped
- ½ cup yellow onion finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 ½ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Heat a dutch oven or a skillet over medium high heat, add oil, and cook ground beef breaking it up with a wooden spoon until it’s no longer pink. Drain fat if it produces a lot of grease.
- Add bell pepper and onion, and cook for 3 minutes.
- Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add ketchup, water, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine, and cover with the lid.
- Reduce heat, and simmer for 20-30 minutes or until you reach the desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings (salt and pepper) to your preference.
- Remove from heat, and serve over toasted brioche or hamburger buns with potato chips on the side.
Notes
- If you want your homemade sloppy joes to have a bit of a spicy kick, consider adding some heat. Hot sauce, crushed red pepper, or a pinch of chili powder can all work to give you a spicier sandwich.
