Sloppy joes / venitian sandwiches

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
8 Hamburger buns
1 pounds Ground beef
1 large Onion -- diced
½ teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Pepper
¼ cup Chopped celery -- or more
BBQ Sauce--
8 ounces Tomato sauce
½ cup Catsup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Prepared mustard -- or less
By half
2 tablespoons Brown sugar, packed
Water -- as needed

Directions

Crumble and fry burger with the onion in deep fry pan. Drain fat. Add remaining ingredients. (Please measure, especially the bbq sauce.) Add water as needed, now and while cooking. Simmer (slight bubble) for 15 minutes. Serves 4 to 8.

Healthier Variation - To make more of a chili, but still serve as a sandwich... add more celery, a chopped carrot, a can of spicy, cooked small red beans. Substitute ground turkey for the beef, go half-ies on the meat, or omit it all together.
