Sloppy Joe (Meat)

By Giora Shimoni, About.com

It's Sloppy Joe's fault. Upon returning home from school one day, my 15-year-old son was greeted by Sloppy Joe. His stomach began to gurgle and his mouth began to water, and then my son, a vegetarian of two years, became a carnivore. I thank this winning recipe for converting my son and making my life as the family chef easier.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 (16 oz.) can tomato sauce
  • 1-2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preparation:

1. In a large skillet, heat oil. Add onion and garlic, and saute on medium heat until just softened.
2. Crumble the ground beef into the skillet. Saute on medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon to break apart chunks, until all of the meat is browned.
3. Using a large spoon, drain the liquid from the skillet. Then add the tomato sauce, brown sugar and spices. Cook on low heat for about 5 minutes, until heated through.

Serving Suggestion:

Serve the Sloppy Joe, warm, on toasted hamburger buns. Raw cut vegetables, like carrot sticks, make a nice side.

Variation:

Add 1/4 cup chopped green pepper in Step 1, and saute it along with the onion and garlic.
