Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ large yellow onion diced
- ½ green bell pepper diced
- 4 hamburger buns
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the ketchup, tomato paste, water, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat a 12” electric skillet to 300 °F. Brown the ground beef in the skillet, breaking it apart into crumbles as it cooks (about 5 minutes)
- Add the garlic, onions and bell peppers to the electric skillet and cook for 2 more minutes. Add the ketchup mixture. Mix well.
- Reduce heat to 250 °F and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened slightly.
- Toast the buns. Serve the sloppy Joe mixture over the toasted buns.
Notes
- If you like the bitter contrast with the sweet tang of the tomato sauce, use the green pepper. If you prefer a sweeter pepper, I recommend the red pepper (it will also match the red tomato sauce, blending it in for those picky eaters).
- Store leftovers in a covered container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
- Reheat the meat mixture in the electric skillet on medium heat or on the stove.
