Description

A delicious and easy recipe for Sloppy Joes using ground beef and fresh vegetables.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 1 green bell pepper (chopped)
  • 10 oz condensed tomato soup (1 can)
  • 3/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 Tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 8 hamburger buns

Instructions

  1. Fry ground beef, onion, and green pepper in a large skillet until onions become clear and beef is browned.
  2. Add tomato soup, ketchup, mustard, sugar, salt, black pepper, and cayenne.
  3. Simmer for at LEAST 30 minutes. The longer you simmer, the better it will be!
  4. Spoon mixture onto a bun (we like using a kaiser rolls or ciabatta bun because it doesn’t get as soggy). Optional: add a little cheese on top of the hot mix.

Notes
