There's no green pepper in this Sloppy Joes recipe, so it's a hit with kids. We added this to the menu at a children's camp, and it has been a favorite for several years. The mixture is thick, so they are 'neat' rather than 'sloppy.' This freezes and reheats well.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 0.5 cups chopped onion
  • 1 , 10.75 ounce
  • 0.25 cups ketchup
  • 0.25 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1.5 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 8 hamburgers buns , toasted if desired

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until evenly browned, stirring to crumble. I like to use a potato masher to even out the lumps. Add celery and onion, cover and cook until tender and translucent, about 5 minutes. Drain off any grease.

  2. 2

    Stir in (undiluted) tomato soup, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce; season with salt and garlic powder. Heat over low heat until simmering; simmer until thoroughly heated, stirring frequently to prevent burning on the bottom.

  3. 3

    Spoon beef mixture on buns; serve.
