These are my husbands absolute
favorite. I think he'd be happy if I made them every day of the week. I found the recipe in a magazine 5 years ago and I've tweaked it to meet my needs. These are so much better than the awful canned sauce you mix with ground beef and only take a little bit more effort. This meal is the best thing to make on a rainy summer day (you know those late summer storms Lugh is so famous for) when you want the flavor of summer but your stuck inside.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 1/2 Large Onion
- 2/3 Cup Ketchup
- 1/4 Cup Water
- 1/2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp White Vinegar
- 1/4 Tsp Salt
- 1/4 Tsp Ground Mustard
- 1/4 Tsp Chili Powder
- 1/8 Tsp Ground Allspice
Directions:
- Saute ground beef and onion until beef is browned and onion is translucent. Drain excess fat.
- Add ketchup, water, brown sugar, vinegar, salt, mustard, chili powder, and allspice.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until thickened.
- Serve on hamburger buns and enjoy!
This recipe actually makes quite a lot of Sloppy Joe filling so you can easily feed four and have enough for sandwiches the next day.
