Heather: Sloppy Joe Recipe
Sorry, I keep forgetting to post it when I am actually home. These are very yummy, actually we are having them tonight!
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 extra lean ground beef (I have also used ground turkey & soy crumbles)
1 t vegetable oil
1 large onion (for 1 C chopped)
1/2 medium green or red bell pepper (for 1/2 C chopped) (I've also used frozen chopped peppers & onions)
1 T dark or light brown sugar, finely packed
2 t red wine vinegar or cider vinegar (I have used regular white vinegar b/f)
2 t Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 T minced garlic
1 large can (15 oz) tomato sauce
1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
salt & pepper to taste
Heat the oil in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Peel & coarsely chop the onion, adding it to the skillet as you chop.
Add the beef to the skillet and raise the heat to high. Cook, turning & breaking up the meat occasionaly, until it is crumbled & browned, 5 minutes. Meanwhile, seed & chop the bell pepper, & add it to the skillet.
Add the brown sugar, vinegar. Worcestershire & garlic, then stir in the tomato sauce & paste. Lower the heat to a simmer & cook 5 minutes more, stirring until all of the tomato paste is throroughly incorporated. Season w/ salt & pepper.
Hope all is well w/ you guys!
