Sloppy Joes

2 lbs ground beef
1 bottle ketchup **
1 small onion, chopped (optional depending on taste.  My mom never used it when she made it.)
2 tablespoons mustard
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
dash of salt & pepper

**Use whatever brand you have on hand.  Eyeball it until it looks good and saucy.  You may not have to use a whole bottle**

DIRECTIONS:  Cook ground beef in a skillet, drain grease and wipe skillet.  Return meat to the skillet and add remaining ingredients, mix well and let simmer for 15-20 minutes.  Serve on buns. 

This recipe can be cut in half for a smaller amount.  Leftovers are great and it also freezes well.

I grew  up on Sloppy Joes but for some reason as I got older, I just grew out of it. This recipe brought back memories and I think I am going to make some next week for the family. (Thanks Home Matters)
