• 1 tsp yellow mustard
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 425g can of tomato sauce
• 450g lean ground beef (85%-90% lean)

How To Make Sloppy Joes Recipe?

1. Prepare the Veggies: Finely chop the onion and seed and dice the green bell pepper.
2. Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, brown sugar, and tomato sauce.
3. Cook the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula until browned and no longer pink.
4. Add Veggies: Season with salt and pepper. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until the veggies are tender.
5. Garlic and Sauce: Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the prepared sauce and bring it to a light boil.
6. Simmer: Reduce heat to low, and let the mixture simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes, or until thickened to your liking. Add water if a looser consistency is desired.
7. Serve: Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve the sloppy joe mixture on toasted buns.

Recipe Tips:

• Use lean beef for a healthier dish: Opt for 85%-90% lean ground beef to keep your Sloppy Joes flavorful but not too greasy.
• Customize the sauce: Adjust the sweetness or tanginess by adding more brown sugar or mustard to suit your taste.
• Toast the buns: Toast the hamburger buns lightly before serving to keep them from becoming soggy and add extra texture.
• Add more veggies: Boost the nutritional value by adding extra veggies like diced carrots or celery along with bell peppers and onions.
• Let it simmer: Allow the mixture to simmer uncovered for a little longer to thicken the sauce to your desired consistency. If it gets too thick, add a splash of water.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the Sloppy Joes cool, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Let them cool, then freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: Heat the Sloppy Joes in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally for 5-7 minutes. Add a little water if needed.
