How To Make super delicious sloppy joes

  • Step 1
    In a medium bowl, stir together the ketchup, chili sauce, water, vinegar, brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, mustard, Worcestershire and tomato paste. Set aside.

    Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add onion and bell pepper. Cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another minute or two.
  • Step 3
    Increase the heat to high, add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up well as it cooks. Drain off the excess fat.
  • Step 4
    Stir in the liquid mixture, bring to a boil, than reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until thickened.
  • Step 5
    Serve up on a toasted bun with mustard, pickles and cheese if you desire.
