Sloppy Joes

The recipe idea:
There's no doubt about it- sloppy joes are a crowd favorite. Also called a bar-b-que, we add cola to give this recipe a little kick.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons flour
  • 2/3 cup ketchup
  • 3/4 cup Coke or Pepsi (not diet)
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:
Dice the onion. In heavy saucepan, brown beef and onion. Drain excess fat. Add rest of ingredients and allow to simmer for at least 30 minutes. Serve with hamburger buns and pickles.
