No green pepper in this recipe, so it’s a hit with kids. We added this sloppy joes recipe 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
- 2 lb lean ground beef
- ½ cup onion, chopped
- 1 cup celery, chopped
- 10 ¾ oz condensed tomato soup
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 8 hamburger buns
Instructions
- Place ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Cook until evenly browned, stirring to crumble (I like to use a potato masher to even out the lumps).
- Add onion and celery, cover the pan, and cook until tender and transparent, about 5 minutes.
- Drain off any grease.
- Stir the tomato soup (undiluted), ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce into the beef mixture.
- Season with salt and garlic powder.
- Heat to a simmer over low heat, and cook until thoroughly heated, stirring frequently to prevent it from burning on the bottom.
- Spoon the hot beef mixture onto buns, which may be toasted first, and serve.
