Savory Homestyle Sloppy Joe Sandwich

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (10.75-ounce) can condensed tomato soup
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Hamburger buns

Instructions:

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the onion and green bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato soup, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, salt, and pepper.  
  4. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, or until the flavors have combined.
  5. Serve the sloppy joe mixture on hamburger buns.

Tips:

  • For a spicier sloppy joe, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mixture.
  • To make a vegetarian sloppy joe, use ground lentils or ground tempeh instead of ground beef.
  • Serve sloppy joes with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, chopped onions, or pickles.

Enjoy!
