Sloppy Joes

Ingredients

1 1/2 Lbs Angus Ground Chuck

1 Tbs. good olive oil like Fratelli Carli Olio Carli

1 can 10 oz. Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies

2 whole cloves garlic chopped

1 medium yellow onion chopped

1 small bell pepper chopped

1-Empty Rotel Can water

1/2 cup ketchup

Dash or two of Worcestershire Sauce

1/2 tsp. dry mustard

1/2 tsp. paprika

1/2 tsp. chili powder (or to your liking)

1 whole bay leaf

Cook short while then taste, Add salt and red or black pepper to taste.

Optional Add a few drops of hot sauce if you wish.

Add 1 Tbs. good honey like Fratelli Carli MIELE DI ACACIA

The honey just gives it a great taste and I like it better than adding sugar.

Instructions

Brown Ground Chuck and Drain. Add the rest of the ingredients. Heat until boiling then turn down to medium. Leave the lid off of pot for approximately 10 minutes this will cook out some of the liquid and thicken some. Cover pot and turn down the heat so it will be on a high simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

You can keep the Sloppy Joes warm on low to keep warm for at least an hour.
