These microwave sloppy joes use pre-cooked ground beef and a tangy homemade sauce to deliver the classic American comfort food in under 10 minutes. The microwave quickly simmers the meat in sweet and savory sauce for a messy, delicious sandwich filling.

Instructions
Mix the Sauce
In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar until the sugar is dissolved and everything is combined.
Add the Meat
Crumble the pre-cooked ground beef into the sauce and stir well to coat every piece of meat in the tangy mixture.
Microwave Until Bubbling
Cover the bowl loosely and microwave on high for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sauce is bubbling and the meat is heated through completely.
Toast Buns and Serve
Microwave the hamburger buns for 15 seconds to warm them slightly. Spoon the generous sloppy joe filling onto the bottom buns and serve immediately.
