Brown the meatHeat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.

-
Simmer the mixtureReduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency. If it becomes too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water.
-
Toast the bunsWhile the mixture is simmering, lightly toast the hamburger buns in a toaster or under a broiler until golden brown.
-
ServeSpoon the hot Sloppy Joe mixture onto the bottom halves of the toasted buns, and cover with the top halves. Serve immediately with plenty of napkins.
