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

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 2 pounds lean ground beef

  • 1 cup chopped celery

  • ½ cup chopped onion

  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup

  • ¼ cup ketchup

  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar

  • 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

  • 8 hamburger buns, toasted if desired

Directions

  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.
