How to make Easy Homemade Sloppy Joes
Step 1: In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef along with the onion and bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, breaking the meat up into chunks using a wooden spoon until the beef is completely cooked and the veggies are tender. Next, add the garlic. Stir and continue to cook for another 30 seconds until aromatic. Then, drain the excess grease.
Step 2: Add the tomato paste and stir until well incorporated.
Step 3: Now, add the ketchup, water, brown sugar, Worcestershire, mustard, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well.
Step 4: Put the lid on and continue to cook for another 10 minutes over medium heat until the mixture has thickened.
Step 5: Take the skillet off the heat when done, and serve the Sloppy Joes right away on toasted buns. Enjoy!
