To make these sloppy joe cups, I started by browning some ground beef in a large frying pan.

I added some diced onions to the pan with the ground beef while it was cooking.

While the meat was still cooking, I dumped some ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and onion powder into a mixing bowl.

I stirred the ingredients together really well to make my homemade sloppy joe sauce.

Once the ground beef was fully cooked, I drained the excess grease from the pan.

Then I poured the sloppy joe sauce into the pan with the cooked beef.

I stirred until all of the ground beef was coated in sauce.

Then I pushed some hamburger buns into muffin tins to form cups.

I spooned the ground beef mixture into the hamburger bun cups.

Then I sprinkled some shredded mozzarella and cheddar on top of the meat.

I placed the muffin tins in the oven and baked the sloppy joe cups until the cheese was completely melted.

Then I removed the muffin tins from the oven and lifted the sloppy joe cups out of the pan.

These tasty ground beef cups are a kid friendly food that adults will love too.
