Easy Make-Ahead Sloppy Joes

April 27, 2011 · 3 comments

This recipe was born to be a make-ahead meal!  It is easy to prepare, freezes well, and tastes great going from freezer to crockpot to plate!  Whenever I prepare it for dinner, I simply make enough for an additional three or four dinners, and then freeze the extra in meal size portions.  The following recipe is one 8-serving meal.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 lbs Ground Beef
  • 1 1/2 cups Ketchup
  • 1/4 cup Worchestershire Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Mustard
  • 1/4 cup Vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 small onion, minced

DIRECTIONS:

  • In a skillet, cook ground beef and onion until beef is evenly brown.
  • Drain beef.
  • Add remaining ingredients to the skillet and stir well.
  • Cook covered on low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Serve on hamburger bun and enjoy!
