Tonight's dinner was Sloppy Joes. This is the first time I've ever made them from "scratch". I got this recipe from Taste Of Home. I didn't have any onion powder, so I just used a crapton of garlic powder. The sauce came out very thick, so if you are a fan of that (I kind of am), then you will be pleased with this. It was kind of sweet, but not too much. I liked it. My daughter (11) did not, but my son (14) did, although he didn't eat a bun. My boyfriend really likes it.
I apologize for the crappy pictures this time around. My boyfriend wasn't here, so I took the photos, and I am not anywhere near as talented.
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds hamburger
- 1 cup ketchup
- 8 tablespoons water
- 4 tablespoon brown sugar
- 4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 teaspoon prepared mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- hamburger buns
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, cook beef until no longer pink inside. I let mine stay a little bit pink, so that the rest would cook out during the simmer process. Do whichever makes you happy.
2. Meanwhile, assemble the rest of the ingredients. When finished, it should look something like this:
3. Drain meat. Add all the ingredients except the buns.
4. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Spoon meat mixture over top of buns. I prefer mine toasted, but forgot to do that, so I just used regular ol' buns. Enjoy!
