– 1 lb ground beef – 1/2 cup chopped onion – 1/2 cup ketchup – 1 tbsp mustard – 1 tbsp brown sugar – Salt and pepper to taste – 4 hamburger buns
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the meat is browned and the onion is tender, about 5–7 minutes.
Drain the excess grease from the skillet to keep the mixture from becoming too oily, ensuring a better texture and taste for the Sloppy Joes.
Add ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar to the skillet. Stir everything together until well combined and let it simmer for 5 more minutes.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to your liking. Stir again and allow it to cook for another minute to blend the flavors.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly if desired, then spoon the beef mixture evenly onto the bottom halves of the buns.
Top with the other halves of the buns and serve warm. Enjoy your simple, tasty Sloppy Joes with chips, salad, or your favorite side!
