Sloppy Sloppy Joes

I love this recipe because it is fast and hearty.  It is great on a cold day for dinner or even for a big lunch.  You will have enough for left overs if you have 2 people eating but it is enough for 4 people for one meal.  Hope you enjoy!

Sloppy Sloppy Joe's

You will need:

1 lb (or more)  ground beef...my grocery store uses 1.25lb or so servings and that is what I use
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
Diced Jalapenos
2 tbsp pickle juice
1/3 onion chopped
Hamburger Buns

Brown the ground beef until no pink is left.  Drain the beef of any grease and I prefer to rinse it with water in a strainer to get the most grease off possible.  Put the beef back into a saute pan and add your bbq sauce, kethcup, jalapenos (as many or as little as you prefer...I usually put about 4 tbsp), pickle juice, and onion.  Season with dashes of onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, Tony Chacheres, and Ground Red Pepper.  Stir together and let simmer covered for 20 or so minutes, stir occasionally. 
When the mixture is cooked through turn off heat and let stand for about 5 minutes, then serve on hamburger buns. 

Suggested Side Dishes:
chips (super easy)
macaroni and cheese
cole slaw
french fries (I use the waffle cut frozen ones)
