Equipment You’ll Need:
- Large skillet

- Measuring cups and spoons
- Knife and cutting board
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey for a lighter option)

Instructions:
- Brown the Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with your spoon. Toss in the chopped onion and bell pepper. Cook until the beef is no longer pink and the veggies are softened. Drain off any excess grease.

- Build the Sloppy Joes: Spoon the mixture onto the bottom halves of the hamburger buns. Top with mini pepperoni slices and a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella.
- 4️Serve & Enjoy: Place the top bun on and serve warm. For an extra treat, pop them under the broiler for a minute to melt the cheese even more.
Extra Tips & Variations:
- Try different cheeses like provolone or cheddar for a fun twist.
- Add sliced black olives or mushrooms for extra pizza vibes.
- Make it spicy with a few red pepper flakes or jalapeños.
