Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Hamburger buns for serving

Equipment

  • Large skillet

Method
 

  1. Slice the onion into thin strips and caramelize it in a skillet with oil over medium heat for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  2. Brown the ground beef in another skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and drain excess fat once cooked.
  3. Add the caramelized onions to the ground beef and stir in Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Toast the hamburger buns if desired, then spoon the beef and onion mixture onto the buns and serve immediately.

Notes

Don't rush the caramelization of the onions; it's essential for developing flavor.
You can make the Sloppy Joe mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Consider using ground turkey for a healthier option or adding cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
For an extra flavor boost, add a splash of red wine or balsamic vinegar while caramelizing the onions.
Leftover Sloppy Joe mixture can be frozen for up to 3 months.
