Follow these simple steps to create your mouthwatering Sloppy Joes:

1. Brown the Meat: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks until browned. Drain excess grease as needed.
2. Add Vegetables: Once the meat is cooked, add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
3. Prepare the Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper.
4. Combine: Pour the sauce mixture over the cooked meat and vegetables. Stir well to combine, and let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes.
5. Toast the Buns: While the mixture simmers, you can toast the hamburger buns on a separate skillet or in the oven for added texture.
6. Assemble: Spoon generous amounts of the Sloppy Joe mixture onto the bottom half of each bun. Add optional toppings if desired.
7. Serve Hot: Place the top half of the bun on each sandwiched Sloppy Joe and serve immediately.
