Sloppy Joes

Please don't let my awful phone photo dissuade you from trying this recipe. They are hands down the best barbecue I have eaten, let alone made myself.

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 chopped green bell pepper
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. prepared yellow mustard
1/2 cup barbecue sauce of your choice (I used Sweet Baby Ray's)
1 cup ketchup
salt and pepper to taste

In medium skillet, over medium heat, brown ground beef, onion and green pepper. Drain.

Stir in garlic powder, mustard, ketchup and barbecue sauce. Mix thoroughly. Reduce heat and simmer 15-20 minutes. Add salt and pepper.

This is also a great recipe to throw in the crockpot. Make as directed above and transfer to crockpot on the lowest setting. Add 1/4 cup water.

No Sloppy Joe is made here at my house without this song being hummed.

Sepia Scenes

Me, feeding my grandparents' chickens. I was 2 or 3 at the time. I loved my grandparents' country home and have many many fond memories of the days I spent with my grandma. She has taught me many things in life and I often told people she was the smartest person in the world. My grandma, Shirley, is mostly of German decent and called me (still does) "Weitz". I cannot find this word in the German dictionary and may have the spelling wrong. Many times I asked Grandma what this meant as she said it with much love. She would just smile and say you are my Weitzel.
