Sloppy Joe's With Garden Peppers & Onions

Hey Everyone,

Denise's Family Sloppy Joe Recipe
with Garden Peppers & Onions

As a kid growing up this was one of our family's favorite weeknight suppers.  When the peppers and onions were fresh and cantaloupe was in season, it certainly brought us all to the table. In the winter mom always made coleslaw and fries for the sides.  Simply yummy!

I usually double the recipe for our family of four as this keeps and reheats so well.

Ingredients:

Nice Large Specialty Sandwich Buns -Toasted
Fresh Fruit
Bag of Chips

1 to 1 1/2 pounds of lean ground beef
1/2 cup diced sweet green bell garden pepper
1/2 cup diced yellow or white garden onion
1 can Campbell's Healthy Request Tomato Soup
1-teaspoon mustard
2-tablespoons bottled barbeque sauce (something mesquite flavored or a Jack Daniel's variety)
1/4 cup fresh grated sharp cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions:

Prepare all diced ingredients.

Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat and drain all fat.

Add the diced green pepper, onion, tomato soup, mustard, barbeque sauce, and cheese, if desired, to the ground beef.  (I remove skillet from heat while adding ingredients to prevent sticking)  Mix well and cook over medium heat until the mixture just starts to bubble.

Reduce heat to lowest setting and simmer for 25 minutes.  Stir several times while simmering.

While sloppy's are cooking, broil buns on a cookie sheet at the lowest setting for 4 - 5 minutes or until nicely toasted.  Remove from oven and set aside.

Serve over toasted buns with chips and fresh fruit for an easy weeknight dinner!

Hope you Enjoy,
