Rachael Ray's Sloppy Joe's

This is in no way a gourmet meal. I saw it on Rachael Ray at least 3 years ago and thought it looked good so I made it, switching it up a bit, and my family loves it. I usually have most, if not all, of the ingredients on hand too. The sauce is kind of sweet but savory and the pepper and onion are super yummy in here too. I'll give the recipe my way but if you want to see Rachael Ray's version click here (she uses ground turkey, amongst other differences).

I know you are super jealous of my 50 cent Fred Meyer buns. And I'll be the first to admit that these pictures are not the best!

Sloppy Joes

2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 to 1 1/2 lbs hamburger (I usually use 1 lb)
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1 Tbsp grill seasoning blend (I use McCormick's Grill Seasoning for Chicken)
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 cup (8 oz can) tomato sauce
Hamburger buns or crusty rolls

Add oil to pan on medium high heat and add onion and pepper. Let soften for a couple of minutes and add hamburger and brown; drain. Meanwhile, mix the grill seasoning, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and tomato sauce together and mix into the hamburger. Let simmer on low for 10 minutes. Add to buns or rolls and enjoy!

We have sloppy joes at least a couple time a month so I will definitely try this recipe!

The pictures look great! There's not much you can do taking pictures of sloppy joes (so it seems) and you did awesome. The corn on the cob looks very yummy next to it. I haven't made SJ's forever. I'll have to give them a go!

Ooh! I forgot about this recipe! Thanks for reminding me. It is tasty. And I am soooo jealous of your 50 cent hamburger buns. Oh, just kidding. I have the same buns in my cupboard :)
