In a medium sauce pan, brown and cook one pound of ground beef. Drain the grease. Remove the cooked ground beef from the pan.

In the now empty sauce pan, saute the onions and peppers until translucent and soft. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce is thickened.

Add the cooked ground beef back into the homemade sauce and simmer until heated through.

Fill hamburger buns with Sloppy Joe sauce and serve immediately.
