By sassy47

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 pounds ground round
• 5 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 3 tomatoes chopped
• 1 jalapeno minced
• 1/2 red onion minced
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• Salt and pepper
• 2 limes

Preparation

Step 1

To make Pico De Gallo, mix tomatoes, jalapeños, red onion, cilantro, juice of 2 limes, and salt & pepper together
To make the Sloppy Joes place a skillet over medium high heat and let it get hot for about a minute.
Add the oil and spread it so it covers the bottom of the pan.
Add the ground round and cook, breaking up the meat with the back of a spoon, until all the pink is gone (about 15 minutes).
Add the remaining ingredients and stir slowly to combine.
When the liquid starts to simmer, reduce the heat to low, partially cover, and simmer for 45 minutes. Stir occasionally to keep the bottom from scorching.
Open the roll or arrange the white bread on a plate. Spoon the meat mixture over it and serve.
