The Secret to Perfect Sloppy Joes: Quick and Easy Recipe!

Start by browning 1.5 pounds of lean ground beef in a skillet.

Chop 1 medium onion and 1 medium red bell pepper while the beef is browning.

Add 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce to the beef.

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of onion powder and 1 tablespoon of paprika over the meat.

If not using lean ground beef, drain excess fat; otherwise, no need to drain.

Add 2 tablespoons of minced garlic to the skillet.

Pour in a 15-ounce can of tomato sauce and mix it in with the beef.

Add 1.5 teaspoons of mustard and 2 tablespoons of ketchup to the mixture.

Stir in 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and mix well.

Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer.

Butter the buns and toast them face down on a grill.

Once the buns are toasted, assemble the sloppy joes by placing the meat mixture on the bottom bun.

Top the sloppy joes with cheese as desired.
