Sloppy Joes

Special thanks to my Betty Crocker Cookbook for this easy and delicious recipe for homemade, from-scratch Sloppy Joes!  We like to eat this on buns with cole slaw.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
• 1/4 cup chopped celery
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• buns and cole slaw, if desired

Directions:

• Cook beef, onion, and celery in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown (8-10 minutes)
• Drain grease and return beef mixture to pan
• Stir remaining ingredients into beef mixture - ketchup, worcestershire, ground mustard, and pepper
• Heat to boiling
• Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender

This recipe makes about six sandwiches so you may want to double it depending on how many you are feeding.

Enjoy!
