Grandma's Sloppy Joes

By: Patricia Pidgeon

"My grandma served these sandwiches each time I visited as a child. When I had children of my own, I relied on this recipe as an inexpensive way to feed them. They like it, and now my grandchildren do, too. - Patricia Pidgeon, Sycamore, Illinois"

Original Recipe Yield 8 servings

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups ketchup
3/4 cup sweet pickle relish
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
8 hamburger buns, split

Directions

In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the ketchup, relish and brown sugar; mix well. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until heated through. Spoon onto buns.

Footnotes

To prevent brown sugar from hardening, store in a resealable plastic bag in a cool dry place. If it does harden, add an apple wedge to the bag until the sugar softens (about 1 to 2 days); discard the apple.
