Quick Homemade Sloppy Joes

Homemade sloppy joes are so fast and easy, and you can tweak them to your taste. You might never go back to the canned stuff!

4 servings

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chuck, onions, and green peppers. Cook and stir, breaking up the meat, until the beef is browned. Stir in the remaining ingredients (except the hamburger buns and butter), and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer gently 15 minutes. Taste and season again with salt and pepper, if needed.
  2. Meanwhile, butter the buns and toast the buttered sides on a griddle or skillet. Divide the beef mixture among the buns and serve.
