Directions

Step 1
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef. Drain off any excess fat.
Step 2
Add chopped onion, green bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet with the beef. Sauté until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and water. Mix well.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly. Stir occasionally.
Step 5
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toast the hamburger buns lightly.
Step 6
Spoon the sloppy joe mixture generously onto the toasted buns and serve immediately.
