Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

In a large skillet, brown the Ground Beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
While the beef is browning, prepare the Sauce by combining all Sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Stir well to combine.
Pour the Sauce over the browned Ground Beef. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
Serve the Korean BBQ Sloppy Joe mixture on Hamburger Buns. Garnish with Sesame Seeds and Sliced Green Onions, if desired.
