Instructions:
1. Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
2. Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked ground beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, tomato paste, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the ground beef and vegetables. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
5. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
6. Taste the Sloppy Joe mixture and adjust the seasoning if needed.
7. Serve the homemade Sloppy Joes on hamburger buns or rolls. Spoon the meat mixture onto the buns and spread it evenly. You can toast the buns if desired.
8. Optionally, you can serve the Sloppy Joes with additional toppings such as sliced cheese, pickles, or coleslaw for added flavor and texture.
