Sharing the Love: Sloppy Judies

These are in the Magnolia Lane cookbook on Page 134 (My aunt Tricia's recipe).  I've made them half a dozen times or more...I absolutely LOVE these sloppy joes.  They make a lot, so they're perfect for entertaining.  My nephew Dylan requested them for his birthday party, and until this recipe, Cole wouldn't touch sloppy joes.  Proof is in the beef, friends.

Sloppy Judies

3 lbs ground beef
2 cans tomato soup
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
1 medium onion, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 c ketchup
1/4 c mustard
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 - 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 - 3 T chili powder

Brown ground beef, onion, and celer.  Drain juices.  Add other ingredients and simmer or cook in crockpot (the longer, the better: let those flavors marry!).

Enjoy!

I think when we had these at Trisha's she added a can of chili beans, delicious.

Leanne said...

Yes, she did. A can of spicy chili beans, I think.

Do drain the juice from the tomatoes or just throw in the whole can?

Leanne said...

Throw in the whole can!

Leanne literally throws the whole can in it. She's got a little bit of Amelia Bedelia in her.

What was your recipe for Cherry Cobbler again?

LotP (which totally looks like my initials, btw): Roar! I never do that...I always open the can first.

Amelia Bedelia! I love her. I'm pretty sure there is some important mineral in cans.

I might try these. I am sure that soon I will be tired of perfecting beef stew and will need a new thing that includes red meat. Possibly a slightly smaller recipe though. ;)
