Step-by-Step Instructions
To start cooking my Sloppy Joe Casserole, I first brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Once it’s nicely browned, I add in the chopped onion, green pepper, and garlic. The aroma wafts through my kitchen, making my mouth water! I sauté everything until the veggies are tender. This blend really adds depth to the flavor. Then, I mix in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, salt, and pepper, letting it simmer for about five minutes to meld those wonderful flavors.
