Sloppy Joes


This can be made the really easy way with Hunt’s Sloppy Joe sauce from a can (nothing to be ashamed of; I’ve used it many a time!) or, with a little extra effort, with this from-scratch recipe.

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 onion, diced

1 green pepper, diced

1 red pepper, diced

2 teaspoons minced garlic

3 pounds lean ground beef or 1-1/2 pounds ground beef and 1-1/2 pounds ground turkey (don’t use all ground turkey; it will be too dry)

¼ cup brown sugar

¼ cup (no fish) Worcestershire sauce

1 quart (4 cups) tomato sauce

2 cups beef stock (homemade or the new Manischewitz in a box)

1 tablespoon hot-pepper sauce (optional)

8 kaiser rolls, cut in half (I like these better than hamburger buns but you can substitute hamburger buns in a pinch)

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat.  Add onion and peppers and cook until softened.  Add garlic and meat and cook until browned.  Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.  Spoon over bun bottoms, top and serve.
