Sloppy Joes

Some nights you just need an easy dinner- nothing fancy, requiring only the ingredients you have on hand, and something the kids will eat. Tonight the answer was:

Sloppy Joes
1 pound lean ground beef
1 small onion, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
3/4 cup ketchup
3 teaspoons brown sugar
salt and pepper to taste

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, onion, and green pepper. Drain off liquids.

Add remaining ingredients, along with about 1/2 cup water, let simmer for 15-30 minutes over low heat until thickened slightly. Serve on rolls or buns.

Becca saves the day again! My family described this as "delicious!" I have always just made-up sloppy joes and now I have a recipe :) I paired this with those french rolls...so good!
