Sloppy Joes and Country Bobs

My kids have been begging me to make Sloppy Joes. It's been SO long since I've made them, how could I say no? This time, I had something new to add to the sauce that made my family go back for seconds.

HERE'S ALL IT TAKES

• 1 pound of fresh, lean ground beef
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 to 3/4 cup ketchup
• 2 to 3 tablespoons Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce
• whole wheat buns

Brown meat and season with salt and pepper. Add ketchup and all purpose sauce, then simmer over medium heat until it thickens. Toast buns in a toaster or in an oven at 300F degrees for 5 to 7 minutes.

IT'S TIME TO EAT!

Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce tastes like a steak sauce with a little kick. It totally works next to steak, basted on grilled chicken and added to pick up Sloppy Joes. It's not so spicy that the kids noticed any heat in the Joes, they just kept on eating.

Classic and Simple Sloppy Joes

The kiddos love this quick, delicious Sloppy Joes recipe.  It has all the classic flavors that we grew up craving.

HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED FOR SLOPPY JOES

• 3 cups precooked ground beef
• 1/3 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• salt to taste
• 2-3 dashes Tabasco
• 6 hamburger buns, toasted

Cook over medium heat all the ingredients, excepts the buns, 10-15 minutes, until the sauce has thicken.  Remove from heat, allow to set for a few minutes before serving.

If you have them, heat up some Tater Tots in the oven while you're cooking the Sloppy Joes.  They should finish up about the same time.
