Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef lean
  • 1 medium onion chopped finely
  • 1/4 cup green bell pepper chopped
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup KC Masterpiece BBQ Sauce can also use ketchup
  • 1 TBL brown sugar or to taste
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 each hamburger buns

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir lean ground beef in the hot skillet until some of the fat starts to render, 3 to 4 minutes. Add onion and bell pepper; continue to cook until vegetables have softened and beef is cooked through, 3 to 5 more minutes.
  • Stir in ketchup, BBQ sauce, brown sugar, mustard, and garlic powder; season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Divide meat mixture evenly among hamburger buns.
  • If you find yourself with leftover Sloppy Joe or just feel like making a double batch, the meat mixture freezes well for up to one month.
  • Ground turkey can be substituted for the ground beef.

Notes

If using ground beef with a higher fat content than lean, be sure to drain it before starting Step 2.
