Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef 85/15 (453.6 grams)
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (224 grams)
  • 1/4 cup ketchup (235 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the ground meat and cook, breaking it up until it begins to brown, about 4 minutes. No need to cook it all the way through.
    1 pound ground beef
  • Add in the green pepper and onion and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
    1 green bell pepper, 1 small yellow onion
  • Add in the BBQ sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, ground mustard, salt, and ground pepper. Stir to combine.
    1 cup BBQ sauce, 1/4 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • Bring to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. You should still be able to see intermittent bubbles. Cook, covered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. If your sloppy joe filling is too thin at end, simply allow it to simmer uncovered for a few minutes until you have the desired thickness.
