My recipe is similar to the top one except I use 3/4 cup catsup, 1 cup water, 1 tablespoon of flour, and 3 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce. A little salt and pepper too. Other ingredients are as listed above in top recipe. I don't use the mustard, but will try adding it next time.

Ground beef, diced onion, 2 TBL ketchup, 2 tsp mustard, and can of chicken gumbo soup. Simmer until most of the broth is gone.

We used like Hunts Sloppy Joe, but for some reason the stores quit carrying it and Manwich caused indigestion. I created my own recipe using our meatloaf sauce as the base and then added our own touches. Plus you can easily adjust all the ingredient amounts to make as much or as little as you want.

Sloppy Joe Sauce

2/3 Cup Ketchup

1/2 Cup packed Brown Sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons Prepared Mustard (Honey Mustard or Guldens is good)

I add a little Chili Powder, Cumin, Worcestershire, Garlic Powder and a little Dry Mustard for an extra tang Mix together in a small bowl, add to cooked ground beef, diced bell pepper and onion or whatever you like, simmer about 10 minutes or so.

Campbell's used to have a recipe that used mustard and, believe it or not, a can of condensed Chicken gumbo soup....

Now mind you, this was for A CROWD..........Just adjust down......Unless you are cooking for A CROWD............

I don't think beef was better back then. I just don't think people were worried so much about fat. Actually, beef had more fat then because cattle are bred to be leaner today. Wow what we used to eat! LOL!!

This is the recipe I use, also. It is from a Betty Crocker Cookbook from the 1970's. I add some dry onion instead of chopping fresh onion and I only use the liquid from the chicken gumbo soup. If I make 3 lbs of ground beef, I only use 2 cans of soup. I like this recipe because it has a very mild flavor.

[brewhaha]

I make them when the grandkids are around.

We were introduced to this camping as kids. It was great. To this day, I like mine with chicken gumbo soup. I love Campbell's!!
