Easy Homemade Sloppy Joes

0 In a large skillet over medium heat, add avocado oil, diced onion and green bell pepper. Optional: add carrots and celery as well for extra veggies. Cook for about 7–10 minutes, until softened. Add in the ground beef and break it up as it cooks. Season with a sprinkle of salt as pepper
1 Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, brown sugar or maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
2 Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the mixture to simmer for 5–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and everything is well combined. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of water until you reach your desired consistency.
3 Spoon the sloppy joe filling onto toasted hamburger buns and serve with your favorite sides!
