A delightful twist on the classic sloppy joes, featuring a tangy BBQ flavor.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef.
Break the beef into small pieces as it cooks for an even texture.
Add the chopped celery and onion to the skillet and cook until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Use a spoon to carefully remove the fat or tilt the skillet to pour it out.
Stir in the BBQ sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and vinegar.
Mix the sauce ingredients well to ensure a consistent flavor.
Simmer the mixture over low heat, covered, for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Check the consistency and adjust the cooking time if needed.
Serve the mixture on toasted buns with your choice of sides.
Toasting the buns adds a delightful crunch to the dish.
