Tracy's Sloppy Joes

This is the only Sloppy Joe recipe my family will let me make. Most others are "way too sweet," they say. The original recipe (see beneath) is compliments of Mike's mom.

Large Batch:
2-3 lb. ground beef (use 70% lean - drain off grease that cooks out)
1 large onion, chopped
16-24 oz. canned tomato sauce
3-4 Tbsp. yellow mustard
salt & pepper to taste

Brown onion in butter and remove to plate. Brown the ground beef and drain if needed. Mix in other ingredients and bring to a boil. (I tried not doing this, and just cooking the onion at the same time as the hamburger, but it isn't as good!)

Serve on hamburger buns or potato rolls.

Small Batch (Original Recipe):
1 lb. ground beef (use 70% lean then drain off the grease that cooks out)
1/2 small onion, chopped
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
1 Tbsp. yellow mustard (make a little pinwheel instead of measuring)
salt & pepper to taste
