How to Make Sloppy Joe Sandwich
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add the chopped onion, celery, and green bell pepper to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Gradually add water, 1-2 tablespoons at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. We recommend a relatively thick consistency for a 'not-so-sloppy' joe.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the Sloppy Joe mixture on toasted hamburger buns. Garnish with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese or coleslaw (optional).
