Ingredients
 

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 1 bell pepper chopped (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Hamburger buns
  • Additional toppings: sliced olives mushrooms, extra pepperoni (optional)

Instructions

Cook the Ground Beef:

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with the chopped onion and bell pepper (if using) until the beef is browned and the vegetables are softened. Drain any excess fat.

Add Flavorings:

  • Stir in the minced garlic, pizza sauce, chopped pepperoni, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer the mixture for about 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Prepare the Buns:

  • Toast the hamburger buns lightly, if desired, for added texture and flavor.

Assemble the Sloppy Joes:

  • Spoon the beef and sauce mixture onto the bottom halves of the toasted buns.
  • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the beef mixture. You can place them under the broiler for a minute or two to melt the cheese, if desired.
  • Add any additional toppings like olives or extra pepperoni on top of the cheese.

Serve:

  • Cover with the top halves of the buns and serve hot.
