Add the ground beef to your large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until it shows no pink.

Optionally, drain excess grease from the skillet, leaving a thin layer for moisture.

Pour in 1 cup of ketchup and stir until the beef is fully coated.

Add 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, stirring thoroughly until the sauce is evenly distributed.

Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 3 to 5 minutes.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Lightly toast your hamburger buns in a toaster or broiler for 2 to 3 minutes.

Spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto each toasted bun and serve immediately.
