Sloppy Joe's



My family's favorite Sloppy Joe’s is in the classic Betty Crocker Cookbook. Yup, the old time classic red book. Sub out the green pepper for a red one – they taste better. Serve on whole wheat buns w/ a salad on the side. We sometimes use turkey instead of beef. 

*Recipe courtesy of Betty Crocker:
1 pound lean ground beef
1 medium onion chopped (1/2 cup)
1/3 cup copped celery stalk
1/3 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/3 cup ketchup
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon red pepper sauce
6 hamburger buns, split and toasted

1. Cook beef and onion in a large skillet over medium high heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is browned; drain. Stir in remaining ingredients (except the buns, of course). 

2. Cover and cook until the vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Fill buns and enjoy!
