Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef, 85/15 is best
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • Dash ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 4 hamburger rolls, or sandwich buns

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and break it up into smaller pieces. Let it cook, undisturbed, for 4 minutes. Add the onions and continue cooking, stirring often, for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and the ground beef is completely cooked and no longer pink.
  • Stir the flour into the beef mixture until absorbed into the fat and continue to cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and water to the mixture. Cover and reduce the heat to low; cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until thickened. Taste and add salt and pepper, as needed.
  • Serve the sloppy joe sauce in the toasted sandwich rolls.
