sloppy joes

Sloppy Joe's were the first meal ever created...well that's a lie, but it's been around for a while now. I know there are bunches of recipes out there for these little sloppy gems, but this one is my go-to favorite, because "I got it from my mama".

Ingredients (for 4 chock-full sloppy joes):
1 lb lean ground beef (10% fat)
1 onion, diced
1 tbs mustard
1 1/2 tbs worcestershire sauce
1 small bottle of ketchup (about 24oz)
1 small bottles-worth of water (about 24oz)
3 tbs vinegar
2 tbs sugar

 

 

Directions:

1. Brown meat and onions with a pinch of salt & pepper over medium heat in a large pot.   

 

 

 

2. Mix in the mustard, vinegar, sugar, ketchup, and water. Stir to mix.
 

 

 

3. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, partially cover & simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
 

 

4. Uncover, stir, and serve on hamburger buns. Load up and enjoy, the sloppier the tastier!
