Sloppy Joes 2

Category: Recipes

I've tried many recipes, this is the best. I once 'dec-tupled' (10x) this recipe to sell sandwiches at a craft fair at my church. People were waiting in line to buy leftovers. Freezes well, goes up to the lake or camping.

SERVES 4

Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
2-3 stalks celery, chopped
1 small onion, chopped

1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

1 tablespoon firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon vinegar

Directions

1In a large skillet, brown ground beef, celery and onion.
2Drain the fat, who needs it?.
3Stir in remaining ingredients, simmer covered, 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4If Joes appear too'loose', leave cover off and let moisture evaporate.
5Cook until it's the consistency you like for serving on toasted buns, with french fries and cole
