Ingredients:

• 1 small onion (finely chopped)
• 1/2 small green bell pepper (seeded and finely diced)
• 1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
• 1 1/2 tsp yellow mustard
• 1 Tbsp brown sugar
• 15 oz can tomato sauce
• 1 lb lean ground beef (85%-90% lean)
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
• ¼ tsp ground black pepper (or to taste)
• 3 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1/4 cup water (optional, or added to desired consistency)
• 4 hamburger buns (toasted if desired)

Instruction:

1. Finely chop the onion. Seed and finely dice the green pepper.
2. In a bowl, combine the Worcestershire sauce, mustard, brown sugar, and tomato sauce.
3. Place a large skillet or dutch oven over medium/high heat. Add olive oil and ground beef. Saute the beef for about 5 minutes until cooked through and no longer pink, breaking it up with a spatula. Season with salt and pepper and add in the diced peppers and onion. Cook another 5 minutes until the veggies are tender and beef is browned.
4. Add the minced garlic and saute 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly. Add in the sauce and bring to a light boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 10-15 minutes or until thickened to your liking. Season to taste with salt and pepper and add water if you prefer a looser consistency. Serve on toasted buns for Sloppy Joe Sandwiches.
