The Best Sloppy Joes

This recipe for Sloppy Joes is an easy-to-make dinner when you don’t feel like making dinner. I pulled this together in 20 minutes, mainly out of pantry ingredients, and served it with a side of potato salad. It’s an American classic, comfort food, and it got the fellas’ stamp of approval!

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
• 1/2 green pepper, chopped (I used a red one, it’s what I had on hand)
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
• 3/4 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• hamburger rolls

1. Over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, drain the excess liquid. Add the butter, onions, and peppers and cook for several minutes.
2. In a small bowl, whisk the garlic, mustard, ketchup, light brown sugar, salt and pepper. Add to the beef mixture and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes.
3. Serve on toasted rolls.
