Easy Weeknight Recipe: Sloppy Joes

If you're looking to cook tonight but don't want to bother with an overly complicated recipe, check out "Easy Weeknight Recipe: Sloppy Joes" for some tasty sandwiches without the difficult process.



Sloppy Joes

Adapted from Favorite Recipes from First United Methodist Church of Still Water, Minnesota
Makes 6 to 8 servings
1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped small
2 celery stalks, chopped small
1 carrot, peeled and chopped small
8- to 10-ounce package mushrooms (button or baby bella), sliced thinly
2 cloves garlic, minced
8-ounce can tomato sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
1-2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tablespoon sugar (optional)
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
8 hamburger buns
In a large skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat, brown the beef. Break it up into small bits as you cook. Once browned, transfer the beef and any juices to a clean bowl and set aside.
In the same pan over medium-high heat, warm a teaspoon of olive oil. Add the onions, celery, and carrots, and cook until the onions are translucent and the carrots look softened, about five minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are soft and tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir until fragrant, about thirty seconds.
Return the ground beef to the pan. Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, 1 tablespoon cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, sugar (if using), salt, and black pepper. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
Taste the sauce, adding more vinegar, salt, or sugar if desired. If the sauce is too thin for your taste, simmer uncovered for another 5 to 10 minutes until the desired thickness is reached.
Serve on hamburger buns. Don't forget a napkin.
The sloppy joe sauce will keep refrigerated for up to a week or frozen for up to 3 months.
