Homemade sloppy joes

1 pound ground turkey or beef

1 Tbsp worcester sauce

1 small yellow onion-Diced

1medium red bell pepper-Diced

3 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic

1 cup ketchup

1 cup water

2 Tbsp brown sugar

2 tsp chili powder

1tsp yellow mustard

salt to taste( about 1 tsp salt)

black pepper to taste (1 tbsp pepper) - I love pepper!

Brown meat ( if you use hamburger u will need to drain the fat, if you use turkey there should be no fat to drain)

once meat is cooked, add in diced onion, bell pepper & garlic. Cook a few minutes, until onion & peppers start to get soft.

Then add ketchup, stir until combined 

then add salt & pepper & mix well

Then add water & stir in.

next add brown sugar, chili powder & mustard- combined well.

Simmer for 15-20 minutes.

I also like to toast the buns for this :)

We had it with the pasta salad I made the night before :)

Always a big hit!
