I am not a Hamburger Helper kind of gal. I hate the aftertaste that it has. Most canned Sloppy Joe mixes are the same to me, leaving a strange after taste that I do not enjoy. I like to make things from scratch so I know what is going into it and can adjust the recipe to my own taste. This one was great! I did not have the time to let is simmer as long as I would have liked so that it could thicken up a bit more, but it was still very good.
Sloppy Joes
About 2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced small
2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 can tomato sauce
About 1 cup chicken stock (beef would also work)
4-6 split hamburger buns (I toast mine)
Heat oil over medium high heat and cook onions until softened, seasoning with a little salt and pepper. Add garlic and stir while cooking about 1 minute. Add meat and cook, breaking with a wooden spoon or spatula, about 3-5 minutes or until brown. Add Brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce and stock of choice and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 15 minutes or until desired thickness. Serve over toasted hamburger buns.
