How to Make Al S Sloppy Joes

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef and brown, breaking it up with a spoon.
2. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), and 2 celery stalks (chopped). Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Stir in 1 (15 ounce) can of tomato sauce, 1 (15 ounce) can of tomato paste, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
4. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 1 hour, or until flavors have melded and the sauce has thickened. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours.
5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve on toasted hamburger buns with your favorite toppings (e.g., coleslaw, pickles, cheese).
