Steps:
- In a very large fry pan, brown hamburger meat in three batches. Once the first batch is about half way browned, add 1/3 of the onion, 1/3 of the celery and 1/3 of the flour. Once the meat is browned, move the mixture to a big soup pot and repeat with two more batches.
- Use an 8 quart soup pot. I have used a 6 quart, it works but a little tight on space.
- Once all of the ingredients are in the big soup pot, add remainder of the ingredients and simmer for at least 30 minutes. If the mixture seems dry, or needs a little punch of flavor, I add a little bit of your favorite bottled bbq sauce.
- Adjust seasonings to taste and serve on hamburger buns.

THE BEST SLOPPY JOES
This is weeknight comfort food at its finest. We created a homemade sauce that is tangy and flavorful but also quick and easy. We used both ketchup and canned tomato sauce for lots of tomato-y zip and just a touch of brown sugar for a bit of sweetness and slight caramel finish. Green bell pepper is a key addition; it really enhances the other ingredients, elevating the flavor profile into the realm of a true sloppy joe.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and starting to caramelize in some spots, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon or spatula, until it is browned, no longer pink in the middle and cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, red wine vinegar, paprika, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of black pepper and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened and heated through, 5 to 6 minutes. Spoon the meat onto the toasted buns.
SLOPPY JOES TO FEED A CROWD
This is a sweet tomatoey tasting sloppy joe. The recipe came from the USDA's recipe book for the Child and Adult Care Food Program. I have been using it for my daycare for a while now. Sometimes I add very tiny chopped peppers and carrots. Small enough that the kids don't know they are there.

CROCK POT SLOPPY JOES FOR A CROWD
I made these for a potluck at work and they were a definite hit! One thing I didn't put in the recipe: instead of using 1 bell pepper, I usually use 1/2 cup of tri-pepper mix. It's just red, yellow and green bell peppers, already diced. Publix sells it in their produce section. It's a real time saver!

Tips:
- Choose the right ground beef: Use a lean ground beef (80/20 or 90/10) to prevent the sloppy joes from becoming too greasy.
- Brown the ground beef thoroughly: This will help to develop the flavor of the meat and prevent it from becoming tough.
- Use a variety of seasonings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings to create your own unique sloppy joe recipe. Some popular options include onion, garlic, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar.
- Simmer the sloppy joes for at least 30 minutes: This will help to blend the flavors and tenderize the meat.
- Serve the sloppy joes on a toasted bun: This will help to hold the sloppy joes together and make them easier to eat.
