A flavorful twist on the classic Sloppy Joe, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef.
Break the beef into small pieces as it cooks for even browning.
Add the diced bell pepper and onion to the skillet and cook until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
Use a spoon to carefully remove the grease or pour it into a heat-safe container.
Stir in the garlic powder, mustard, brown sugar, ketchup, and barbecue sauce.
Mix thoroughly to combine all the flavors evenly.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 20 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent the mixture from sticking to the skillet.
Serve the mixture on hamburger buns and top with a slice of cheese if desired.
Toast the buns for added flavor and texture.
