A delightful twist on the classic sloppy joe, featuring a rich and flavorful sauce.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic.
Break the beef into small pieces as it cooks for even browning.
Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Use a spoon to carefully remove the fat, or tilt the skillet and drain it off.
Stir in the mustard, ketchup, barbecue sauce, and brown sugar into the beef mixture.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the beef is evenly coated with the sauce.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 15 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and to blend the flavors.
Serve the beef mixture on buns and top with shredded cheese.
Toast the buns beforehand for added texture and flavor.
