How to make Sloppy Joes Easy Recipe

Brown 1.25 pounds of ground beef in a 12-inch cast iron skillet until cooked through, draining off most of the grease.

Add 2 cups of diced onions to the skillet with the ground beef and turn the heat to medium-high.

Saute the onions with the beef for about 15 minutes until they start to turn translucent.

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of black pepper and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder over the mixture and stir.

Add 1 cup of ketchup to the skillet, mixing well with the beef and onions.

If the mixture looks too dry, add water to keep it moist and allow the beef to absorb the flavors.

Let the mixture simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reduces and thickens.

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning as necessary, adding more garlic powder if desired.

Prepare potato rolls by toasting them lightly before serving.

Spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto the toasted potato rolls and serve.
