Better than the Lunch Lady’s Slop, Sloppy Joes

I have had plenty of bad sloppy joes. These are quick, and our picky kids clean them up. They are a great way to use some hamburger on a weeknight.


Better than the Lunch Lady’s Slop, Sloppy Joes

Ingredients:

  • 1lbs hamburger
  • 2T onion, chopped
  • 2t garlic, chopped
  • 3T ketchup
  • 2t yellow mustard
  • 1T chili powder
  • 1/4t ground cumin
  • 1t red pepper flakes if you like heat
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Sauté the onion until soft and lightly browned in a little olive oil.
  2. Add the garlic and sauté for just a minute or two, don’t let it burn.
  3. Brown the hamburger with the onion mixture. No need to drain Diamond R hamburger!
  4. Add the ketchup, mustard, and spices. Stir and add a little water (or dark beer) to thin the mixture to your liking.
  5. Serve on a toasted bun.
