===== Ye Olde Slooppy Joesphes =====


==== 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
  * 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
  * 1/4 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

==== Instructions ====
  - Finely chop the onion. Seed and finely dice the green pepper.
  - In a bowl, combine the Worcestershire sauce, mustard, brown sugar, and tomato sauce.
  - 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.
  - 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.
