Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, minced
  • 1 small green bell pepper, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 8 hot dog buns
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Pickles, diced onions, or other desired toppings

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain any excess fat.

  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.

  7. Remove the buns from the oven and evenly distribute the sloppy joe mixture onto each bun. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
  8. Return the loaded buns to the broiler for another 1-2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Remove from the broiler and top with desired toppings such as diced pickles, onions, or any other condiments.
