As most of you know, my hubby and I live and work full-time at a Christian camp. We have several youth summer camps, but also cater to adult retreats and winter camps, as well. Well, the camp director’s wife has a “part time” job with the USPS, but as recently been working full-time as her boss is dying of cancer. So, I have been cooking meals for her so that she has less to worry about in the evenings when she finally gets home from work. Simple, but yummy meals. Last night we had Sloppy Joe sandwiches, Tater Tots and carrot sticks with Ranch dressing. Oh, and cookies for dessert!! Here is how I make Sloppy Joe sandwiches for 8!!
Sloppy Joe Sandwiches
What you need:
- 3 lbs ground beef
- 16 “hamburger” buns
- shredded cheese or sliced, whichever you prefer, if any
- 2 small cans Slo ppy Joe mix, I used “Manwich” brand
- brown sugar to add to Sloppy Joe mix to sweeten just a bit (that’s how we like it, you can omit this)
- mustard, ketchup, bbq sauce, whatever, if anything you put on your bun to serve
What to do:
- brown you r ground beef til no longer pink, drain excess fat
- Stir in Sloppy Joe mix
- add brown sugar to taste
- prepare buns with cheese and or mustard, ketchup, etc.
- serve with carrots and dip, tater tots, chips or whatever you like!!
Happy Eating, Be Blessed…
