A delightful twist on the classic sloppy joe, this recipe combines rich flavors with a touch of spice for a satisfying meal.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding ingredients to prevent sticking.
Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula.
Drain excess fat if necessary to keep the dish lighter.
Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, mustard, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, sugar, oregano, and black pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the mixture simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Toast the burger buns lightly if desired.
Toasting adds a nice texture and prevents the buns from getting soggy.
Spoon the mixture onto the buns and serve warm.
Serve with a side of coleslaw or pickles for added crunch.
