Joe has always been a little messy!

I love me a good slow cooked Sloppy Joe! Tangy and a little sticky on a soft bun with melty cheesy goodness! I usually make a big batch about once a month and divide them into freezer bags, they thaw quick and dinner is just a salad and some chips away!
 SJ's are a great lunch, dinner or hey, I wouldn't judge you if you had one for breakfast! ;)

Sloppy Joes
4 lbs ground beef
2 tsp garlic
1/2 cup minced onions
1/2 cup minced peppers (the orange/sweet red variety are SO tasty in this)
In a very large skillet brown the meat/veggies until beef is browned. Drain off excess fat and return to skillet.
Add
3 small cans tomato sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
2 Tbsp mustard
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 Tbsp Worchestershire sauce
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
dash celery salt
dash onion salt
salt and pepper to taste
Simmer 1/2 hour.
If you are going to freeze let it come to room temp before bagging. Remember to label and date so you don't think it's chili or spaghetti sauce! :)
Serve on toasted buns with a nice slice of Colby Jack cheese!
