Cook the Beef and Onions:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and chopped onion. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.

Add the Sauce Ingredients:

• Stir in the condensed chicken gumbo soup, ketchup, yellow mustard, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.

Simmer the Mixture:

• Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Prepare the Buns:

• While the meat mixture is simmering, toast the hamburger buns until lightly golden. This helps prevent them from becoming too soggy when the filling is added.

Assemble the Sloppy Joes:

• Spoon a generous portion of the meat mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a slice of cheddar cheese, pickles, or coleslaw if desired. Place the top half of the bun over the filling.

Serve:

• Serve the Chicken Gumbo Sloppy Joes hot, accompanied by your favorite side dishes like potato chips, a green salad, or coleslaw.
