1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 small onion, chopped1can (10 3/4 ounce) condensed tomato soup

Tips:

Choose the right ground beef. For the best flavor, use a ground beef that is at least 80% lean.
Brown the beef thoroughly. This will help to develop the flavor and prevent the meat from becoming greasy.
Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the meat will not brown evenly and will release too much liquid.
Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what really makes sloppy joes special. Choose a sauce that you enjoy and that will complement the beef.
Simmer the sloppy joes for at least 30 minutes. This will help to develop the flavors and thicken the sauce.
Serve sloppy joes on soft, fluffy buns. This will help to soak up the sauce and make the sandwiches even more delicious.
