A Taste Of Thursday...Our Favorite Sloppy Joes

Happy Thursday Friends!

 

Today is like my Friday...the boys are done with school today, and I am looking forward to a nice 3 day weekend with my peeps:)

 

 

So today I am going to share with you guys one of my family's favorite meals.....Sloppy Joes!  Seriously, everyone in my house LOVES them!  I have tried lots of different recipes over the years, and we have even done Manwich a time or two......or FIFTY!  I love this meal because it is super simple to make, and I hear ZERO complaints at the dinner table...all the moms out there can totally appreciate that little fact right there as a huge WIN!

 

I love cooking for my family, however I don't have a ton of time to spend in the kitchen, so I really love quick, easy recipes, especially during the busy weeknights!  I have been making lots of Shay's recipes for a few years now, and I have always had success with them...meaning they were easy to make, quick to get on the table, tasted good, and my kids and hubby liked it!  Like I said...that's a WIN!  A few weeks back Shay was sweet enough to send me her two little cookbooks, and I was so excited to see the recipe that we use for Sloppy Joes was in there!  Now, in her book it isn't really a sloppy joe recipe, however two years ago when I made her Beefy Cornbread Casserole, I knew if I eliminated the cornbread they would be some delicious sloppy joes!  So a few days later, I took the recipe, and eliminated the whole cornbread part and baking it in the oven, and viola.....our favorite Sloppy Joes were born! 

 

So today, I am going to share it with you...if you and your family love a good sloppy joe...you need to try this!

 

1 lb. ground beef

1/2 onion chopped

1 1/2 cups ketchup

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon chili powder

 

Brown your ground beef and onion, until the beef is cooked and crumbly; drain fat.

 

 

  Stir in the remaining ingredients

Reduce heat to low and simmer.

 

 

Serve on hamburger buns and enjoy!

 

I know I don't take the best food pics...but please look beyond that and seriously make these sloppy joes !
