Recipe #3: Sloppy Joe Sandwich made from Scratch!

Hi Everyone,
    I think the sloppy joe sandwich is just as American as the burger, and I know I've eaten a lot of these sandwiches as a kid. Most people buy the mix from a can at the grocery store but you can make it from scratch at home! It's really simple; I think it's better than the canned sauce and is more rewarding. Because you decide what goes in it, you can customize the recipe. This can be made in minutes, and is a fast and tasty dinner.

Here are the ingredients that you'll need: 

• 1 1/2 pounds of ground beef
• 1 cup of Ketchup
• BBQ sauce
• 1 heaping spoon of Tomato paste
• Half of a green bell pepper 
• Garlic powder

    First, take the ground beef and place it in a large sauce pan with a little bit of oil. Brown the meat until all of it has crumbled and pinkness is gone.

 Turn off the stove and drain what little liquid had come out. Return to stove, set the burner on medium, add the garlic powder and your chopped green bell pepper. 

Mix well. Now add in the tomato paste and ketchup. Set the burner on low.

Mix well again, then add the BBQ sauce; about half a cup.

Check the meat mixture for flavor and add more ketchup or BBQ sauce until desired taste has been achieved. 

And now you're done!

True to it's name. This sandwich is sloppy!

Add cheese and this messy sandwich becomes even more gooey and delicious.

Hope you Enjoy and Thanks For Reading!
