Sloppy Joe Sliders are mini sandwiches filled with a sweet and tangy ground beef mixture, served on soft slider buns and perfect for parties, game day, or an easy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 12 slider buns
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional, for brushing tops)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper; sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
- Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Stir in ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease.
- Slice slider buns in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves in the baking dish. Spoon the sloppy joe mixture evenly over the buns.
- Top with the upper halves of the buns. Brush tops with melted butter if desired.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until buns are warm and slightly toasted. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Top with shredded cheese before baking for a cheesy twist.
- Can be prepped ahead of time and baked just before serving.
- Use Hawaiian rolls for a sweeter flavor.
