Step-by-Step Instructions
First, let’s start cooking that mouthwatering sloppy joe mixture! In my trusty skillet over medium heat, I brown the ground beef along with the diced onion until it’s cooked through and the onions are soft and translucent. The smell of the beef sizzling with onion is just heavenly! Once done, I drain any excess grease and add in the ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. I let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing all those flavors to meld beautifully. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
