- 1⁄8 cup barbecue sauce (I use Original Open Pit)
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- bun
- cheese (I like provolone)
directions
- Brown ground beef, salt and pepper to taste. Drain and set aside. (Reserve approximately 1 teaspoons grease).
- Saute onions in same pan with approximately 1 teaspoons grease (from the ground beef) until golden brown. Add garlic and saute an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Place cooked meat back into pan with onions and garlic. Add tomato soup and bbq sauce. Mix well. Add sweet relish (to suit your taste). Mix and taste test, if needed add more salt and pepper.
- Place sloppy joe mix on your favorite kind of bun (toasted or not) and add your favorite kind of cheese (optional) like provolone, american, swiss, colby, etc -- and enjoy.
- We serve this with spicy steak fries, cottage cheese, pickles, potato or macaroni salad or cole slaw. This is a great alternative from the canned S.J. mix.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a mother of three girls and my husband and I are both self employed. I work from home doing payroll and other bookkeeping duties for his construction company. I also operate a licensed daycare and love to plan meals for the kids and my family. I love being a stay at home/work from home mom and feel it is my duty to provide a good meal to my hard working husband who provides the bulk of our income. I feel that food is the ultimate love you can provide for your family and I try to make every meal special. I love any cookbook that provides pictures of the recipe you are cooking, but I tend to get most of my recipes online when I already know what I want to make because they are easy to find and I don't have to spend hours searching for what it is I have in mind. I use my picture cookbooks more for dinner planning and meal ideas. I joined this site when I found a recipe for baked mac/cheese that I liked and would enjoy getting more meal planning ideas. I tend to "get tired of food" and often find myself saying that nothing sounds good! I just need more variety!!
