A flavorful twist on the classic sloppy joe recipe, perfect for a hearty meal.
Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat and add the ground beef, diced onion, chopped celery, and diced bell pepper.
Stir frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
Cook until the beef is browned and the vegetables are softened, then drain any excess fat.
Use a slotted spoon to remove excess fat for a leaner dish.
Add the crushed tomatoes, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, ground mustard, paprika, and pepper to the pot.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Simmer the mixture uncovered for 35 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Toast the buns lightly if desired, then spoon the meat mixture onto each bun.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
