Sloppy Joes

So on Thursday night we had Sloppy Joes.  I have never made this for my family before.......EVER!!  I have always wanted to but, to be honest, I was kinda scared of making it......the whole idea of putting that much ketchup into anything just grossed me out.  So I put on my big girl apron and sucked it up 'hunny, we are cooking with ketchup tonight'.  So I got to looking for some recipes and found one that seemed easy and I could put a twist on it.......BBQ sauce, and that is a little less scary to me. This recipe did turn out great, I was very pleased with it, i put it on some warmed hamburger style bun and served it with a caesar salad!!

1 pound lean ground beef 
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
3/4 cup ketchup
3 teaspoons brown sugar
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste


Directions



1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, onion, and green pepper; drain off liquids.
2. Stir in the garlic powder, mustard, ketchup, and brown sugar; mix thoroughly. Reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

**So like always I doubled my recipe, and used 1/2 half of an onion and 3/4 of a green pepper, about 2-3 tspn of mustard, and did not use brown sugar at all, i used about 1c of ketchup and about 3/4c of thick and spicy BBQ sauce**

Check back tomorrow for a new recipe
