Sloppy Joes

[Ulysses]

Trying this out tonight.

Brown some ground beef.

Add some chopped onions and tomatoes.

Cook it up.

Add a sauce of ketchup, bbq sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, horseradish, hot sweet mustard, tabasco, chili powder, and garlic powder.

Simmering now.

Smells great.

Man, I haven't had sloppy joe's since I was a kid. Your recipe actually sounds pretty good. Though, I wouldn't have added soy sauce or horseradish.

I recommend having some bacon to whet your appetite.

Sloppy Joes are one of those foods that can be amazing if done right, but terrible if done wrong. Your recipe sounds quite good.

Interesting combination of sauces. I would not have thought of using tabasco.

this is not an approved hot sauce

I generally don't like ketchup... not enough body, too much sugar (and there's already some sweet ingredients in your recipe). I might try tomato sauce (or puree) with a bit of tomato paste.

agreed. they've had a bad rep in my mind ever since the Billy Madison Era, but I actually had one freshman year in college and was quite pleased (even from a dining hall).

That's the thing. The ones I've had have been sickeningly sweet.

This is very good advice. Ditch the soy, too. Replace with Worchestershire. Horseradish is an excellent call.
