Sloppy Joes

Sloppy Joes

1 lb ground beef (turkey or chicken will work too)
¼ cup diced onion
¼ cup diced red pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon yellow mustard (prepared, not dried)
¾ cup ketchup
salt and pepper to taste

In a large nonstick pan, brown the meat with the onion and pepper. Drain the fat, and stir in the garlic powder, mustard, and ketchup. Simmer for 30 minutes on low, stirring often, and season with salt and pepper to taste. If the mixture becomes too thick, you can add more ketchup or a teaspoon or two of water.

Serve hot on a toasted bun, with a side of fresh sliced vegetables, pickles, potato chips, or french fries.
