Sure, here’s a simple Sloppy Joes recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef (you can also use ground turkey or chicken)
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 small green bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon mustard (yellow or Dijon)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Hamburger buns, for serving
Instructions:
- In a large skillet or frying pan, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it’s browned and cooked through. Break it up into smaller pieces as it cooks.
- Once the beef is cooked, add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
- Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and chili powder. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Once the Sloppy Joe mixture is ready, spoon it onto hamburger buns and serve hot.
