Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 1/2 cups chopped onion

- Butter for spreading on buns
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Saute Onion and Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, saute the chopped onion until it’s translucent. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until it’s nicely browned, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. |
| 2 | Add Sauce Mixture: Once the beef is browned, stir in the undiluted tomato soup, ketchup, mustard, and barbecue sauce. Mix everything together until well combined, ensuring the flavors meld together beautifully. |
| 3 | Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the mixture simmer gently until it’s heated through, allowing the flavors to deepen and develop. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes, giving you just enough time to prepare the buns. |
| 4 | Prepare Buns: While the meat mixture is simmering, slice the hamburger buns in half and lightly butter each half. Place them face down on top of the meat mixture in the skillet, covering it completely. Let them sit for about 30 seconds to warm through and allow the butter to melt, adding an extra touch of richness to the dish. |
| 5 | Serve: Once the buns are warmed through, it’s time to serve up these delicious Sloppy Joes! Spoon the savory meat mixture onto the bottom halves of the buns, then gently place the buttery tops on top. Pair them with your favorite chips for a satisfying meal that’s sure to please everyone at the table. Enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of Mom’s Best Sloppy Joes Ever! |
