Preparation

• Gather all your ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Break it apart and cook until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes.
• Add the diced onion and green bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until the veggies are soft and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Carefully drain any excess fat from the skillet.
• Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
• Turn the heat down to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes.
• Optionally, toast the hamburger buns under the broiler for a couple of minutes until golden brown.
• Spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom half of each bun, then place the top half on.
• Serve immediately and enjoy with your favorite sides.
