Sauce

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Heat oil in a large frying pan set over medium-high heat. Saute onions and green pepper for 5 minutes.

Add beef to the pan. Cook, stirring until browned, about 5 to 10 minutes. Drain off fat.

FOOTNOTES:

Twists:

Twist 1: For burger-appeal, jazz-up Sloppy Joes with additional toppings such as shredded lettuce, chopped tomato, grated cheese, sour cream or ranch dressing.

Twist 2: For a meat variation, use lean ground chicken or pork instead of beef.

Twist 3: For a Veggie boosted Joe, stir in 1 cup each shredded carrot and chopped mushrooms.

Twist 4: For a high fibre alternative, try whole-wheat pitas or rolls instead of sandwich buns.

Twist 5: For a chunkier Joe, use Heinz Chili Sauce, Chunky with Sweet Peppers instead of ketchup.

Twist 6: For a smokey-flavoured Joe, use one of the Heinz BBQ Sauces instead of ketchup.
