Sloppy Joes

I remember eating this growing up and always loving them. Mostly they came from a mix or a can added to ground beef. I decided to relive my childhood and check online for a good recipe to make it from scratch. I found several and decided to mix and match and add some of our favourite flavours to the recipe. Below you will find the final result. This would also make an awesome sauce over spaghetti! It's a win-win in our home. Enjoy! 

1/4 cup chopped onion

1/4 cup chopped bell pepper

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 lb lean ground beef

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon yellow mustard

1 tablespoon ketchup

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 - 7 oz can tomato sauce (213ml)

Salt and pepper to taste

In a frying pan on medium heat, brown onions, bell pepper, chopped garlic and ground beef until meat and vegetables are almost cooked. Add remaining ingredients and turn heat down to a simmer and cook for another 20-30 minutes, or until desired consistency. 

Serve over hamburger or hot dog buns. 

Serves 2-4 (depending on your hunger)
