Elaine's Sloppy Joes

By Addie

Ingredients

• My sloppy Joe recipe is my own and I will try to give it to you the best I can:
• I brown 2 pounds of ground chuck with 1 large onion and drain.
• Add a couple of splashes of Worcestershire Sauce, a squeeze of lemon juice, about 2 Tbsp (?) of yellow mustard (I like a lot and am only guessing here) and a lot of ketchup to make it very moist.
• Add 1/2 chopped green pepper, salt and pepper, and bring all to high heat and reduce to simmer for 1/2 hour to 45 minutes.

Preparation

Step 1

That is it. Nothing to it but we love it and the lemon not only affords it tanginess but tenderizes the meat as well. You will laugh as when I make mine, I put the filling on the bun and absolutely have to have a dill pickle slice on it. Everyone thinks I'm nuts but that is how I like it. As it is so easy, I always wonder why one buys the Manwhich? I know Jan does but she hates to cook.
