SUPER SLOPPY JOES

    2 pounds ground beef
    1/2 cup chopped onion
    2 celery ribs with leaves, chopped
    1/4 cup chopped green pepper
    15 oz. can crushed tomatoes
    1/4 cup ketchup
    2 T. brown sugar
    1 T. white vinegar
    1 T. Worcestershire sauce
    1 T. steak sauce
    1/2 t. garlic salt
    1/4 t. ground mustard
    1/4 t. paprika
    8 to 10 hamburger or hoagie buns, split

In a Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the beef, onion,
celery and green pepper until meat is no longer pink and
the vegetables are tender; drain.

Stir in the next nine ingredients. Simmer, uncovered, for
35-40 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
Spoon about 1/2 cup meat mixture onto each bun.





The mixture was a little too thin to suit me, so I mixed 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
in 2 tablespoons of water and then stirred into the mixture. I cooked and stirred for
about 3 minutes until the mixture thickened and the cornstarch was cooked.




I will freeze any leftovers in greased muffin tins and then pop out and put into
freezer bags for longer storage. Should make for easy snacks or meals.

Yield: 10 servings.
