Sloppy Joes

I hope everyone had a Happy Easter! We had a fun filled weekend here at our house. :) Last night, I  wanted something quick and easy to make because the hubby called to say that he didn't have class, and he was on his way home. :o

So, I found this recipe for Sloppy Joes over at Food.com. I was surprised at how good these were. They tasted almost like the canned sloppy joes which I won't be buying anymore now! The hubby and son LOVED them, too!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• ( I added 1 carrot, grated )
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite)
• 1 tablespoon firmly packed brown sugar ( I didn't use brown sugar )
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard ( I used regular yellow mustard )
• salt and pepper
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon vinegar ( Optional )

Directions:

1. In a large skillet, brown ground beef, celery and onion.
2. Drain the fat.
3. Stir in remaining ingredients, simmer covered for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. If Sloppy Joes appear to be loose, leave cover off and let moisture evaporate.
5. Cook until it's the consistency you like for serving.

Have a Terrific Tuesday!
