Sloppy Joes

Here is some genuine comfort food for this troubling time. Whether you're panicking about coronavirus or just frustrated with the panic in general, this will help calm your soul.

This is my entry for this week's Hive account@foodfightfriday challenge.

Here's my recipe this time (I'm making a triple recipe, which is why it looks like a lot more):

Fry up:

1 pound ground beef

Add:

1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce

(This picture was taken just before I decided to change pans, lol. Especially as I think now that I accidentally used double the tomato sauce.)

Stir in:

1/2 cup ketchup
1 Tablespoon onion flakes
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 Tablespoon vinegar (I used apple cider vinegar)
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
salt & pepper to taste

Simmer about 20 minutes to reduce the moisture and heat through.

Serve on a bun (or two slices of bread/toast as my daughter did here.)

Here is your:
