sandycombsA simple Friday night dinner.
I haven't bought a can of Sloppy Joe sauce since I found this recipe. It tastes so much better than canned, and is just as easy to prepare. The ingredients are things most everyone always has on hand, too. I started serving them on hot dog buns instead of hamburger buns quite a while back. They just seem less messy that way. (I eat mine open-faced) Tonight I served them with frozen french fries and balsamic slaw. The slaw is simply packaged cole slaw mix tossed with balsamic vinaigrette.
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 cup chopped celery (optional)
1 small onion, chopped or 1 tbsp. dried minced onion
8 oz. can tomato sauce
1/2 cup catsup
1 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp. vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
Brown ground beef, celery and onion. Drain fat. Place in a 1.5 quart slow cooker. Stir in remaining ingredients. Cook on low 6-8 hours. Serve on buns with your choice of fixings. (I like mustard. Hubby likes relish.)
