These Classic Sloppy Joes are a comforting American favorite, blending ground beef with a sweet and tangy sauce, served warm on soft burger buns.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 1 cup water
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Burger buns

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef and onion: In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 lb of ground beef and 1 small chopped onion. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Drain excess grease: Once cooked, carefully drain any excess grease from the skillet.
  3. Combine the sauce ingredients: Stir in 1/2 cup of ketchup, 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon of mustard, 1 cup of water, and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Simmer until thickened: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Serve on burger buns: When thickened, serve the savory meat mixture generously over soft burger buns.

Notes

For added flavor, consider mixing ground meats or adding vegetables like bell peppers. Can be made vegetarian with lentils.
