Puerto Rican Sloppy Joes

Something my husband and I created last night. Basically, it's Picadillo on a hamburger bun, with a few changes in ingredients.

Puerto Rican Sloppy Joes

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

1 garlic clove, minced

½ green bell pepper, diced

1 lb ground beef

¾ cup ketchup

¼ cup water

¼ cup green olives, diced

2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

2 Tbsp white vinegar

Salt, to taste

Ground black pepper, to taste

  

✗ Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. 

✗ Add onions and green pepper. Cook until caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, cook 1 minute.

✗ Add beef and cook, breaking into small pieces until browned.

✗ Whisk together ketchup and water. Add to skillet and mix well. 

✗ Add the rest of the ingredients and reduce heat to simmer. Simmer 15 minutes.

✗ Serve on hamburger buns.
