Ingredients

  • •2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • •1 pound ground beef
  • •1 medium onion, diced
  • •1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
  • •2 tablespoons ketchup
  • •1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • •1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • •1 teaspoon mustard
  • •1 teaspoon salt
  • •½ teaspoon black pepper
  • •4 hamburger buns

Directions

  1. 1Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook ground beef with diced onion until beef is browned and onion is soft, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  2. 2Stir in tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, and mustard, mixing well.
  3. 3Add salt and pepper, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly.
  4. 4Toast hamburger buns lightly if desired, then spoon the Sloppy Joe mixture onto each bun and serve immediately.

💡 Sloppy Joe filling should reduce until it mounds on a spoon; watery beef sauce soaks buns immediately.
