Instructions
 

  • In a medium sized pot, cook the ground beef until browned thoroughly
  • While the beef is cooking, use a sharp knife on a cutting board and dice the onion and green pepper
  • Add the diced onion and pepper to the browned ground beef and stir until combined
  • Add ketchup and brown sugar. Stirring occasionally to make sure the beef does not stick to the bottom of the pot
  • Simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes, until the flavors have all melded together. *Think of this like chili, the longer it cooks, the better it tastes!
  • Serve the Sloppy Joe meat mixture on your favorite hamburger or brioche buns
