𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:

1 lb ground beef 🥩
1 small onion, finely chopped 🧅
1/2 green bell pepper, finely chopped 🫑
2 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce 🍅
1/4 cup ketchup 🍅
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 🍶
1 tablespoon chili powder 🌶️
1 tablespoon brown sugar 🍬
1 teaspoon smoked paprika 🌶️
Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
4 soft hamburger buns 🍔
Optional toppings: pickles, shredded cheese, jalapeños 🌶️🧀

𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

1. Cook the beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and return the beef to the skillet.

2. Sauté the vegetables: Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.

3. Make the sauce: Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, brown sugar, and smoked paprika. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken.

4. Assemble the sloppy joes: Spoon the beef mixture onto the bottom halves of the hamburger buns. Add optional toppings like pickles, shredded cheese, or jalapeños for extra flavor. Top with the other half of the buns and serve.

5. Serve and enjoy: Serve these rich and tangy Texas-style sloppy joes hot, perfect for a casual weeknight dinner or a gathering with friends!
