• 1/2 cup Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon Mustard
• Salt and Pepper to taste

2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. Bring to a simmer.
4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Notes

• For a sweeter sauce, add an extra 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
• You can add a pinch of chili powder for a little heat.
• To prevent buns from getting soggy, toast them lightly before adding the sloppy joe mixture.
• Store leftover sloppy joe mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
