Sloppy Joe

So I've been making a lot of freezer meals lately to get ready for baby. So I'm going to share a few of them.

This was super yummy. We ate half and froze the other half.

2 lbs. ground beef
2 medium onions, chopped
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups ketchup
1 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 Tbs. prepared mustard
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. pepper
Hamburger buns

In a large skillet, cook beef, onions and garlic over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in ketchup, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, Italian seasoning, onion powder and peeper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered for 20 minutes.

Serve about 1/2 cup meat mixture on each bun. Or cool and freeze for up to 3 months.

To use frozen sloppy joes: thaw in fridge, place in a saucepan and heat through. Serve on buns.
Yield: 12 servings (about 6 cups)

Tom and the kids like sloppy joes, but Tom always insist on getting the canned manwhich stuff. I bet I could make this and he'd think it was alot better!
