HOMEMADE SLOPPY JOE'S WITH A DELICIOUS TWIST

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, & pint of Grandma Vinion's Peppers in Red Sauce. Mix until well blended. Set aside.
• In a large skillet crumble lean ground beef, add minced garlic, diced green pepper, diced onion, salt & pepper. Cook until meat is browned through. Drain off any excess fat if there is any.
• Add sauce & pepper mixture and stir in. Cook over low-medium heat 20-30 minutes or until heated through. If you want a little kick to your Sloppy Joe's use the hot peppers in Red Sauce. *******NOTE: If you don't have the peppers on hand. Check out my Sausage Cacciatore Recipe for a quick mock version of these wonderful peppers!!
• Serve on fresh hamburger buns with a slice of American Cheese! I make this recipe in large portions for parties. When I do, I brown meat, transfer to crock pot and add the sauce mixture & allow to cook on low for 4 hours. Then keep warm. Keeps well in a crock pot for those pot lucks or parties!
