Sloppy Joe--American through and through! Here is a recipe I have developed that, in my humble opinion, is the best in the world...Ingredients:
2 tbsp. butter
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped bell pepper
2 lb. lean ground beef
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
1 tsp. garlic powder
4 tbsp. yellow mustard
2 tbsp. cider vinegar
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. hot pepper sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
1 cup beer
1 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. chili powder
Instructions:
In a large skillet, melt the butter and sauté the chopped onion and bell pepper(being careful not to overcook). Add the ground beef and cook slowly, stirring often until beef is cooked thoroughly. Drain off excess grease. Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer for several hours. When the beer is added, the mixture will seem thin at first, but it will thicken as it simmers--and after all, it is called sloppy Joe! Serve on your favorite hamburger buns. Makes about 8 to 12 servings.
