Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 bell pepper, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 4 hamburger buns, toasted
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and crumble it into small pieces. Set aside.
- Brown the Ground Beef: In the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook until browned. Break up the meat with a spoon as it cooks.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables soften and the onions turn translucent.
- Add the Sauce Ingredients: Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.
- Combine Bacon and Cheese: Stir the crumbled bacon into the sloppy joe mixture. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and allow it to melt for 1-2 minutes.
- Assemble the Sloppy Joes: Spoon the mixture onto the toasted hamburger buns. Top with extra cheese if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding a few dashes of hot sauce or chili flakes to the sloppy joe mixture.
- Feel free to swap the cheddar cheese with your favorite melty cheese.
- The mixture can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days for a quick reheating.
