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
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
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
Spoon beef mixture on buns; serve.
