    Recipe



    In large skillet, over medium heat, add the vegetable oil. Add the chopped onion, green pepper and celery.
    Cook the vegetables until they are just tender.
    Stir constantly to prevent them from burning, as this gives off flavors to the Sloppy Joes recipe.
    Add the ground beef to the skillet, and mix well while cooking. Break up the ground beef.
    Cook until the beef is browned. Drain off any excess liquid from the beef.
    Add the brown sugar, dry mustard, garlic powder, chili powder, catsup, beef broth and vinegar.
    Stir to combine all ingredients. Bring the Sloppy Joes sauce to a boil.
    Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer the Sloppy Joes sauce, 20 to 30 minutes. (* NOTE)
    Season to taste with salt and pepper.
    Serve over open face toasted hamburger buns. Great tasting Sloppy Joes to enjoy with your family.
    Garnish with your favorite grated cheese toppings, if desired.

    This is quick to prepare, and right from your organic vegetable garden. Sloppy Joes, an anytime or anyday family meal...!

    (*NOTE): The Sloppy Joes recipe may be prepared to this point, cooled and stored in a covered bowl in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat the Sloppy Joes mixture when ready to serve.
