A home cook who wants to share her recipes and ideas for living a healthy self-sufficient life
These aren't your old run-of-the-mill sloppy Joes in a can. These are the best Sloppy Joes ever! When my Mother was a member of our local VFW, the guys were always begging her to make them and bring them down.
Fortunately, this is a super simple recipe, and when you make sure you use clean ingredients, it's healthy as well.
Place ground beef and onion in a large skillet. Turn the heat to medium and cook and stir the mixture constantly until the beef is browned and forms small crumbles, about 10 minutes.
Stir in garlic and green bell pepper; cook and stir until softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add 1 cup of water and stir, scraping the pan to dissolve any brown flavor bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Mix in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Add 1 more cup of water and return the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated and the mixture is thick, about 40 minutes
Serve over toasted whole grain rolls ✅
