Who doesn’t love a good ol’ fashioned comfort food that’s easy to make and satisfies your cravings? These Sloppy Joes are a crowd-pleaser, and for good reason!

Imagine a juicy, flavorful mixture of ground beef, onions, and bell peppers, all wrapped up in a soft, fluffy bun. It’s a match made in heaven!
To start, heat up a large skillet over medium heat. Add in that lean ground beef and let it cook until some of the fat starts to render, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add in those chopped onions and bell peppers and cook until they’re soft and the beef is cooked through, another 3-5 minutes.

Now it’s time to add in the magic ingredients: ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and garlic powder. Stir everything together and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes, allowing all those flavors to meld together.
Once it’s all cooked up, divide the meat mixture evenly among your hamburger buns. And don’t be shy – overfill those buns so that some of that delicious meat spills out!

So, what are you waiting for? Get ready to indulge in these Sloppy Joes and experience the ultimate comfort food!

And the best part? You can make these Sloppy Joes ahead of time and store them in the fridge for up to three days. Just reheat and serve on fresh hamburger buns.

So, go ahead and get creative with your Sloppy Joes! Serve them with some crispy sweet potato fries, homemade mac and cheese, or a refreshing side salad. The possibilities are endless!
