Sloppy Joes are still an old fashioned favorite, and you don’t need that canned stuff to make them! A fast, easy and fun dinner idea.
1 lb. ground beef
1 med. onion, diced
1 med. green pepper, diced (optional)
2 med. garlic cloves, minced
3/4 cup ketchup
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
Pinch of red pepper flakes
salt & pepper to taste (easy on the salt!)
Brown ground beef with onion (and green pepper if using.) Drain.
Add the rest of the ingredients and heat through.
Serve on buns.
Done!
