My FAVORITE Sloppy Joe recipe!!! It makes enough to share and it freezes well! The flavor is seriously unmatched (and it is kid-friendly and can be made without large pieces of stuff they think they don’t like!)

Ingredients:

  • 4 pounds ground beef

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 (14oz) bottle of ketchup

  • 1 cup water

  • 1/2 cup celery (I skip)

  • 1/4 cup lemon juice

  • 2 TBS brown sugar

  • 1 TBS salt

  • 1 TBS Worcestershire sauce

  • 2 tsp vinegar

  • 1/2 tsp dry mustard (or regular)

Brown ground beef (this is where I sprinkle on the onion powder) until all meat is cooked. Drain off excess fat. Add all other ingredients. Simmer covered 30 minutes.
