Sloppy Joes


Messy but fun to eat, I think everyone enjoys a good sloppy Joes sandwich, especially the kids. Substitute ground chicken or turkey for the ground beef if you prefer.

Sloppy Joes
(Makes 6 sandwiches.)

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• Salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste
• Lettuce and sliced tomatoes, (optional)
• 6 hamburger buns, split


Sloppy Joes
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the bell peppers and onions. Sauté the vegetables until they begin to soften. Add the garlic and sauté 1 minute more.


Add the ground beef to the pepper mixture and cook until the meat is cooked through and is no longer pink. Drain excess fat from pan.

Add the tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, ground mustard, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce to the beef. Stir to blend well. Simmer until thickened a little, 8 to 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Serve mixture on hamburger buns, plain or with lettuce and tomatoes.
