This is a simple recipe with a nice little kick to them and ingredients that you usually have on hand. All the kids love these sandwiches. This is a recipe from Betty Crocker's cookbook.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1/3 cup celery, chopped
1/3 cup green pepper, chopped
1/3 cup catsup (I add more, about double it)
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon red pepper sauce (or to liking, I add alot more)
6 hamburger buns, split and toasted (but I like to use hot dog buns, holds filling in better)

Directions

1
Cook and stir ground beef and onion in a 10 inch skillet until beef is brown; drain.
2
Stir in remaining ingredients except buns. Cover and cook over low heat just until vegetables are tender. 10-15 minutes.
3
Fill buns with beef mixture.

My boys are Sloppy Joe lovers & both raved over this recipe. I have to admit, I had my doubts, as when I was putting it all together I started to wonder if a main ingredient hadn't been left off the list. In the end I made everything per the recipe except I had just finished making a lasagna too & had about 1/3 cup of tomato sauce leftover so instead of doubling the ketchup (as in the ingredient notes) I just threw the tomato sauce in. I usually like to use garlic & a bit of brown sugar in something like this but even without those I was pleasantly surprised with this recipe. Ultimately, it was the red pepper sauce (I too added a lot more than called for) that put this recipe into the 5 star category. I served the meat mixture atop 40 Minute Hamburger Buns (the only hamburger buns I ever use anymore.) Thanks for sharing, diner! This super quick & easy recipe has been requested again. Made for Every Day is a Holiday tag game.

I did add about 2 tbps of minced/grated garlic and I added a bullion cube as well. I added all my vegetables with my meat as I like mine cooked down a little more. Came out pretty good considering ketchup was used instead of my usual tomato sauce.

Excellent sloppy Joes. I did add a little brown sugar and tripled the sauce ingredients because we like more sauce than this produced. Flavor was great. Thanks

A great combination of flavors, although I did do a few changes, I added in 2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic and 1 tablepoon crushed chili flakes while cooking the beef, after simmering for about 20 minutes I added in some brown sugar as it was not sweet enough for my family's taste, thanks for sharing diner!
