How to Make Quick Easy Sloppy Joes
- Brown 1 lb lean ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon.
- Drain the cooked beef thoroughly on paper towels to remove excess grease.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the skillet.
- Stir in 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Cook for 3-5 minutes until softened.
- Add 1 (15-ounce) can of tomato sauce, 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Stir in an additional 1/4 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper.
- Simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Serve the sloppy joe mixture on toasted buns. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and/or a hot dog for an extra delicious treat! Serve with kettle chips.
