ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often less expensive.

slider buns

🥗Healthier: whole grain buns

💰Cheaper: plain sandwich bread

Whole grain buns add fiber, while sandwich bread is more economical.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese slices

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free option, while processed cheese is often cheaper.

Worcestershire sauce

🥗Healthier: soy sauce

💰Cheaper: homemade Worcestershire

Soy sauce is lower in calories, and homemade can be cost-effective.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add chopped onion and green bell pepper; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart, about 7-10 minutes.

Drain excess fat from the skillet.

Stir in tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper.

Simmer the mixture for 10-15 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Slice slider buns in half and place them on a baking sheet.

Spoon the Sloppy Joe mixture onto the bottom halves of the buns.

Top with cheese and pickles, if desired.

Cover with the top halves of the buns.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and buns are toasted.

Remove from oven and serve warm.
