AUNT RUTH'S SLOPPY JOES

By bjnelson55

The best and most simple sloppy Joe recipe!! Jake went nuts over these.

Ingredients

• 1 # lean ground beef
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 tsp. yellow mustard
• 3/4 cup ketchup
• 3 tsp. brown sugar
• salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Brown beef and onion. Drain off any grease and stir in the remainder of spices. Cook on low until well blended. If it is dry or not as "sloppy" as you would like, add a little bit of water and heat well. This makes 6 generous buns or more depending upon your taste.

Hint: To brown the hamburger more easily, use a potato masher. It crumbles more evenly.
