    Serve the prepared Sloppy Joe mixture on toasted burger buns.

    Ingredients
    • 1 small onion, finely chopped
    • 1/2 small green bell pepper, seeded and finely diced
    • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 tsp yellow mustard
    • 1/4 Cup water
    • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
    • 15 oz can tomato sauce
    • 1 lb lean ground beef
    • 1 Tbsp oil
    • ½ tsp salt
    • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
    • 3 garlic cloves, minced
    • 4 hamburger buns, toasted if desired
    Instructions
    1. In a bowl, combine the Worcestershire sauce, mustard, water, brown sugar, and tomato sauce.
    2. Place a large skillet over medium/high heat. Add oil and ground beef. Saute the beef until cooked through and longer pink, breaking it up with a spatula. Drain grease if necessary. Season with salt and pepper and add in the diced peppers and onion. Cook another 5 minutes until the veggies are tender and beef is browned.
    3. Add the minced garlic and saute 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly. Add in the sauce mixture and bring to a light boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 10-15 minutes until the desired thickness. Serve on toasted buns for Sloppy Joe Sandwiches.

    I hope you like it, G. I don't use the "recipe" very often but just throw stuff in and taste. You might like a little chili sauce or more spices added, so make it yours.

    I'll just add this recipe note here. I made this today but only had a small (7 oz) can of tomato sauce on hand, so I used that and a big squirt (~1/4 cup) of spicy ketchup. I actually think the end result is better than with the large can of tomato sauce.

    I made sloppy joes a few months ago. I started out with a recipe that I found online but left out some of the stuff that didn't sound like a good idea to me, like brown sugar. Maybe I used some, but not as much as the recipe called for. It came out pretty good. In nearly every recipe, I use far less sugar than is called for.

    @Hedi Mitchell -- I just noticed your message about the recipe. Here it is, though you probably don't need it now. :D

    Here is a recipe for Lentil Sloppy Joes. I have not tried it yet, but it looks simple enough to make and can even be made in the crock pot.
