Bachelor Sloppy Joes

This my personal sloppy joe recipe. I have tweaked it to have all my favorite ingredients. Not one of them overpowers the other. I hope you like it, as it makes a great lunch or game-day sandwich for the family. I generally serve it on a better quality hamburger bun with Kettle® potato chips.

Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 ½ teaspoons distilled white vinegar
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• ¼ cup chopped onion
• 1 pound ground beef
• ¼ cup chopped celery
• 1 ½ teaspoons brown sugar
• ¾ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• ¼ cup chopped green pepper
• 1 ½ teaspoons prepared yellow mustard

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef to the skillet and break into smaller bits with a spatula as it cooks; cook until browned on one side, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn beef and add onion, bell pepper, and celery. Put a cover on the skillet and continue to cook until beef is completely browned and crumbly, 2 to 5 minutes more.

Step 2

Stir vinegar, mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder into the beef mixture; season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer mixture, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are completely tender, about 15 minutes.
