1 1/2 lb. browned ground beef

1 onion, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 cup ketchup

14 oz. can tomato sauce

1/4 cup water

3 Tbsp. brown sugar

2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce*

2 tsp. lemon juice

2 tsp. chili powder

1 tsp. dry mustard

dash pepper

*Be sure to use gluten free Worcestershire sauce if wanting this to be gluten free.

Cook the ground beef and chopped onion. Add garlic at the end. Drain. Combine all the other ingredients and mix together. Put in gallon bag and freeze.

Cooking instructions:

Thaw. Heat in pot on stovetop over medium until desired heat is achieved or cook in slow cooker on low for 2-3 hours. Serve on bun halves.

I like to change recipes and use what I have on hand, so the Sloppy Joes were very similar but I used some different ingredients and added more brown sugar because my hubby likes it sweet.  I doubled the recipe because it's nice to have leftovers to eat the next day!
