Sloppy Joes

I can remember my mom making us these for years. Then the stuff in the can came out and that was the rage - until we tried it. We begged her to never, ever buy that stuff again! Nothing fancy about this recipe - common ingredients found in just about every kitchen. *Warning: You may need a bib! ;)

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs ground beef or 1 1⁄2 lbs  ground chuck or 1 1⁄2 lbs  ground round or 1 1⁄2 lbs ground turkey

• 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground pepper
• 1  tablespoon sugar
• 1  cup catsup
• 1⁄4 cup yellow mustard
• 2  tablespoons vinegar

Directions

1. In large skillet, brown ground beef (use your choice of ground meat) stirring to break it up.
2. Drain well, place onions (if desired) in skillet while your meat is draining and season lightly with salt & pepper. Cook 2-3 minutes stirring constantly and return the meat to the skillet. Continue to cook until onions are softened and tender. Season again with salt & pepper (to your tastes).
