Pepperoni Pizza Sloppy Joes

30 minute meals

Thank you Closet Cooking for the recipe!

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground beef

  • 4 oz. pepperoni (sliced)

  • 1 small onion (diced)

  • 1 green pepper (diced)

  • 3 garlic cloves (chopped)

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika 

  • 2 cups pizza or marinara sauce

  • ⅓ cup sliced olives

  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning 

  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)

  • 4 buns

Instructions

  1. Cook the ground beef, pepperoni, onion, and bell pepper in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking the meat apart as it cooks before draining any excess grease. 

  2. Add the garlic and paprika and cook until it’s fragrant — about a minute. 

  3. Add the pizza sauce, olives, Italian seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes. 

  4. Turn the heat off and mix in the mozzarella to let it melt. 

  5. Divide the filling into the buns and enjoy!
