Dr. Pepper Barbecue Sloppy Joes

Cook the Ground Beef:

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Break up the meat with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

Add Vegetables:

Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, until they soften.

Make the Sauce:

Stir in the Dr. Pepper, barbecue sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Simmer the Sloppy Joes:

Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef.

Assemble the Sloppy Joes:

Spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto hamburger buns. Serve warm and enjoy!
