Sloppy Joes
Make certain that the beef mixture is well browned this may take about 12-15 minutes to brown the meat, this takes about 1-1/2 hours to cook and even tastes better the next day so I suggest to make this a day or two in advance
For spicy use spicy Italian sausages and add in a seeded and finely chopped jalapeno pepper when browning the meat
Serve on toasted garlic buns
Servings 8
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound ground beef
1 pound Italian sausage links, casings removed
1 large onion, chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, seeded sand chopped
6 large garlic cloves, minced (the more garlic, the better!)

1 teaspoon paprika
2 cups crushed tomatoes (do not substitute tomato sauce)
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon white vinegar
