Sloppy Joes

Cook ground beef, onion and green bell pepper in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat, until browned with no pink (71 C) and the vegetables are soft. Spoon off the fat and stir in garlic for 30 seconds.

Add ketchup, water, tomato paste, brown sugar, worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, chili powder, salt and black pepper to the browned beef. Simmer, stirring, until thick enough to mound on a spoon.

Spoon the sloppy joe filling onto hamburger buns and serve with coleslaw or pickles.
