Sloppy from the Garden Joe's

There are a few childhood favorites my husband requests once in a while and Sloppy Joe's are one of them. To stretch my dollar and add "grown-up" flavor I thought to throw in some celery and carrots. We loved the results! Crunchy carrots and celery with the benefits of added nutrients makes these Garden Variety Sloppy Joe's a real winner. Ryan wanted to rename this recipe and one of his ideas was "Lazy Lisa's." I don't know what he was trying to accomplish with that suggestion, but he is on his own for dinner tonight! Anyway, grab some napkins and enjoy!

Sloppy from the Garden Joe's

1 pound ground beef

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup chopped celery

1/2 cup chopped carrots

1 cup ketchup

1/2 cup water

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon ground mustard

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

6 burger buns

Cook the ground beef, onion celery, and carrots, in a skillet over medium heat until the beef is brown, about 8-10 minutes, and drain. Return the beef to the skillet and mix in ketchup, water, Worcestershire sauce, ground mustard, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Fill buns with beef mixture and grab some napkins.
