This is a recipe my mom has made as long as I can remember and I have been making it since I got married 14 years ago. It is very quick and simple. I like to use barbecue sauce with a smoky or hickory flavor to it.
Mom’s Sloppy Joes
1 pound hamburger
1/4-1/2 cup onion chopped
1 can condensed tomato soup
3 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp or more barbecue sauce
8 hamburger buns
8 slices of american cheese, if desired
Brown together the hamburger and onion. Add the soup, sugar and barbecue sauce and simmer for 5 minutes. You can add more barbecue sauce to make it the consitency you like. Serve on buns.
