I haven't ever made sloppy joes so I figure that it's about time. Plus i have some hamburger and buns that are calling to be used up.
1 lb Ground beef
1 chopped onion
1/2 c chopped green pepper
1 7.5 ounce can tomatoes, cut up
2 TBS Quick Oats
1/4 c water
1.5 tsp chilli pdr
1-2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Garlic
Salt/Pepper
dash of hot sauce
Cook meat and onion, drain fat off. Stir in undrained tomatoes, etc and bring to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer 5-10 to reach thicker consistancy. Serve on buns. (Makes 6 servings)

I would used crushed tomatoes instead. The kids balked at the visible pieces of tomato. I also added a heaping amount of ketchup and a bit of brown sugar. The original recipie was very 'chunked up" meat and less sloppy joe. It's from an old Betty Crocker cookbook so that's probably why it was so meh. I added more seasoning and next time I might try tomato paste/dash of vinegar/brown sugar instead of ketchup...
