How to Make Awesome Sloppy Joes

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef and 1/2 medium onion, chopped, in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Crumble beef as it cooks.
  2. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and the flavors have melded.
  5. Serve on toasted hamburger buns. Garnish with extra ketchup or your favorite toppings!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
