Gochujang Sloppy Joes

How to Make It

1. Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the onion, green pepper and celery. Cook for 4-5 minutes until softened, then stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
3. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
4. Cook until the beef is no longer pink, about 6-7 minutes, then drain off any excess fat.
5. Stir in the tomato sauce, gochujang, ketchup, mustard, brown sugar and cider vinegar.
6. Mix everything well so the gochujang dissolves evenly into the sauce.
7. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
8. Simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens.
9. Season with salt and pepper to taste. You can adjust the amount of gochujang for your taste.
10. Spoon the mixture onto hamburger buns and serve hot.
