SLOPPY JOES
| Per Pound of Meat: | |
| 1 lb. ground chuck | 1 tsp. salt |
| 1/4 C. green pepper (optional)* | 1/8 tsp. pepper |
| Ketchup, to desired consistency | 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce |
| 1/2 C. chopped onion |
*Most commercial brands
of Sloppy Joe sauce have green pepper in them.
I hate to see young women spend mega-bucks on Sloppy Joe
sauce -- so here’s how our Mom did it.
Brown meat with onions and green pepper; drain fat. Add ketchup to desired
consistency. Add remaining ingredients. Let your Joes simmer covered on low
heat for 1 hour or so, or cook 5 minutes and refrigerate. Flavors will blend
that way. Makes 5 to 6 sandwiches per pound of meat.
If you want to save more money (as ketchup can be costly),
use tomato sauce or tomato paste, plus water, some sugar and a touch of
vinegar.
If you really must, use 1 can or envelope prepared mix and
make the rest of the sauce your own.
When / got married, I learned a new way to serve these.
Try melting a slice of process cheese on your sandwich and top with hamburger
dill slices and some mustard. We also like them open-face using a fork and
knife to eat.
