1/2 c chopped onion
1/3 c chopped green pepper

1/2 tsp ground thyme

Brown beef with onions and peppers. Add the rest and simmer, anywhere from 1 min to 20, whatever you have time for. Add water if too dry.

Although I call these "Suz's Sloppy Joes", I again have to 'fess up that this isn't my recipe. It came from my mom. But, they are, by far, the best sloppy joes. Manwich, get outta here!!! I always have the ingredients on hand, and they're super easy. You're probably thinking, "liquid smoke? What???" Yep, it exists. Find it at the grocery store, probably by the bbq sauces? Sheesh, I can't quite recall where it was, but I've purchased it at my local store twice now. Here's what it looks like (but I promise you don't have to buy a 12-pack!!). Warning...a little of this goes a long way. Use sparingly.
You beat me to it! Was going to post your sloppy joe recipe this morning! My parents requested that I make it this week :)
ReplyDeleteI do want to add you can make an excellent veggie friendly version of this by substituting ground Boca or other soy crumbles and eliminating the salt. When I tried this variation the taste and texture was great...just far to salty compared to the regular beef version.
