Pepperoni Pizza Sloppy Joes
-
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
-
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.
-
Add the garlic and paprika and cook until it’s fragrant — about a minute.
-
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.
-
Turn the heat off and mix in the mozzarella to let it melt.
-
Divide the filling into the buns and enjoy!
