Soft buns work best with these classic kid-friendly sandwiches. Serve them with pickles or potato chips. The beef mixture can also be served over pasta.

Ingredients

Sloppy Joes

1 tablespoon Canola oil

1 Medium onion, finely chopped

1/2 Green bell pepper, finely chopped

1 Celery stalk, finely chopped

2 Garlic cloves, minced coarse salt and ground pepper

Coarse salt and ground pepper

1 pound Ground beef

1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce

1/4 cup Ketchup

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

4 Hamburger buns, split and toasted

Preparation

1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are softened, 5 to 7 minutes.

2. Add ground beef to skillet. Cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until it is no longer pink, 6 to 8 minutes.

3. Stir tomato sauce, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce into beef mixture in skillet. Simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes.

4. Season the mixture with more salt and pepper, as desired. Spoon onto buns, and serve immediately.
