It’s comfort food of the week at its best. We’ve created a homemade sauce that’s tangy and flavorful but also quick and easy. We used both ketchup and canned tomato sauce for lots of tomato and just a touch of brown sugar for a bit of sweetness and a light caramel finish. Green bell pepper is a key addition; it really enhances the other ingredients, elevating the flavor profile into the realm of a true sloppy joe.
