Savannah Sloppy Joes

Wayne doesn't like the canned sloppy joe fixings, but thought I'd try this one I found on Paula Deen's hit list. It was so very easy and my bunch LOVED it! There was tweaking, of course. I didn't have "Paula's" sauces. I used a Harvey's brand Vidalia onion steak sauce, and Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce, and, of course, left out the peppers. But, it was great!

A smoky southern take on an all time classic.


Savannah Sloppy Joe's

Ingredients:

3 pounds ground beef chuck
1 cup sweet onion, chopped
1/2 cup green pepper, chopped
6 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 jar Paula Deen Collection BBQ Sauce
2 tablespoon Paula Deen Collection Vidalia Onion Steak Sauce
salt and pepper to taste
8 slices of American Cheese
8 Sandwich buns, split and toasted

Directions

Cook ground beef, onion and pepper until beef is no longer red, stirring to break up. Sprinkle flour over beef; stir to blend thoroughly. Add Paula Deen BBQ Sauce and Vidalia Onion Steak Sauce (I actually used a 50/50 mixture) and simmer, stirring often, for 15 to 25 minutes, or until thickened. Salt and pepper to taste. Note: If mixture becomes too thick, just add a little warm water to thin out. To serve, top the toasted buns with a large scoop of the hot sloppy joe mixture and a single slice of cheese.
