We have been making our own sloppy joes for a while
now. The other day I dicided to make up a double batch of just
the sauce, and freeze it. Worked great! This way a sloppy joes
is just a pound of browned ground beef away. Just like the canned
sauces, but much better. Here is the sauce recipe for a single
batch.
|
2 tbls vegetable
oil
1 cup onion, finely chopped
1/3 cup celery, finely chopped
1/4 - 1/3 cup bell pepper, finely chopped
1 lage clove garlic, minced
1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
3 tbls ketchup
2 tbls barbecue sauce |
1 cup water
1 - 2 tbls red wine (optional)
1 tbls light brown sugar
1 tbls Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tbls cider vinegar
1 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp kosher salt, or to taste
3/4 tsp black pepper, or to taste
|
Heat the oil to medium high in a large sauce pan.
Add the onions, garlic, celery, and bell pepper. Cook
until the vegetables start to soften. Add the tomato
sauce and continue to cook for a couple more minutes
while stirring constantly. Add all the remaining ingredients,
and mix well. Cover the pan and simmer for 20 minutes,
stirring occasionally. At this point the sauce can
be stored in the refrigerator or frozen for further
use.
Cliff Note: We use Sweet Baby Ray's barbeque
sauce.
