Hunter's Star

 

I’m so glad August is finally here. I fully expect the temperatures to start backing off a bit. I’d like to celebrate this month’s family birthdays with a backyard picnic, and that’s hard to do when it’s like a blast furnace outside. I want to serve corn on the cob, pasta salad, and watermelon. I was thinking of this for the main dish:

 

Homemade Sloppy Joes

 

 2 pounds lean ground beef

2 cups celery, sliced thin

1 cup finely chopped onion

1/2 cup finely chopped bell peppers

10.5 ounce can of tomato soup

1/2 cup ketchup

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoons Worcestershire

Fresh ground black pepper to taste

 

Brown the ground beef; drain excess fat. Add vegetables and sauté until tender and aromatic. Stir in remaining ingredients. Continue cooking while stirring about 20 minutes. Serve over toasted hamburger buns.
