Sloppy Joes

A few years ago, I got this easy recipe from Menus4Moms.  This is a family favorite.  I think the Imaginative One loves it because it combines two of his favorite foods - hamburgers and ketchup.  The reason I like the recipe is because of its ease.  Since I work all day and then come home to cook, I need recipes that come together easily.



Without further ado, the recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds of ground beef - I usually half this recipe and do only one pound of ground beef.

  • 1/2 cup of chopped onion

  • 1/2 cup of chopped green pepper

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 2 tsp prepared yellow mustard - Shh!  I usually put more in.  I am the only one who likes mustard so this is our little secret that I put more in there.

  • 1 and 1/2 cup of ketchup

  • 1 Tbsp. and 2 tsp. of brown sugar - That is 6 tsp. of brown sugar.

  • salt and pepper to taste


Steps:

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, onion, and green pepper; drain off liquids. 

  2. Stir in the next 4 ingredients; mix thoroughly.

  3. Reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes.

  4. Season with salt and pepper.

  8. [...] Sloppy Joes - As long as you have some hamburger in your house, you can whip up some sloppy joes.  If you have enough time, you can also make homemade hamburger buns to eat the Sloppy Joes on.  Save some of those sloppy joes for a Sloppy Joe pizza later. [...]
