Creating Beef Sloppy Joes is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
2. Add Vegetables: Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
3. Mix the Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
4. Combine: Pour the sauce mixture over the browned beef and vegetables in the skillet. Stir to coat the meat evenly.
5. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally.
6. Prepare Buns: While the mixture is simmering, toast the hamburger buns if desired. This adds extra flavor and texture.
7. Serve: Spoon the Sloppy Joe mixture generously onto the bottom half of each bun.
8. Add Toppings: If using, add sliced pickles, shredded cheese, or coleslaw on top for added flavor and crunch.
9. Complete the Sandwich: Place the top half of the bun over the filling and serve immediately.
