Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
20 oz ground beef (80/20%)
570g
1/4 cup brown sugar
36g
1 onion
110g
1 red pepper
77g
1 tbsp vinegar
15g
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
16g
2 cups tomato sauce
490g
2 tbsp canned tomato paste
33g
4 rolls hamburger bun
170g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Finely chop the onion and red pepper. Keep them aside for later use.
2. Cook the Ground Beef:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned and fully cooked through. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
3. Add Vegetables:
- Add the finely chopped onion and red pepper to the skillet with the browned beef. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Incorporate Sugar and Sauces:
- Stir in 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
5. Add Tomato Ingredients:
- Pour in 2 cups of tomato sauce and add 2 tablespoons of tomato paste. Stir until everything is well incorporated.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened and flavorful.
6. Prepare Hamburger Buns:
- While the meat mixture simmers, split the hamburger buns in half and lightly toast them if desired.
7. Assemble the Sloppy Joes:
- Once the meat mixture is ready, spoon generous portions onto the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Place the top halves of the buns over the meat to form sandwiches.
8. Serve:
- Serve the Super Sloppy Joes hot, with your favorite side dishes if desired.

Tips:

- Use ground beef with a bit of fat (80/20%) for the best flavor and texture.

- You can substitute the hamburger buns with whole grain rolls for a healthier option.

- Add some minced garlic or chili powder to the mixture if you prefer a spicier Sloppy Joe.

- Toast the buns lightly before serving to add some crunch and prevent them from getting too soggy.

- Consider using a variety of colorful bell peppers for added visual appeal and flavor.

Super Sloppy Joes are a delicious, hearty meal that can be prepared quickly and enjoyed by all. The combination of juicy ground beef, tangy tomato sauce, and sweet brown sugar creates a mouthwatering dish that's perfect for any occasion. Enjoy your Sloppy Joes with a side of your favorite chips or a crisp salad for a balanced and satisfying meal.
