Sloppy Joes for a crowd

No doubt I always seem to have a house full of teenagers lately. Most of the time its not planned. They just seem to show up and multiply...weird how that happens. Did I mention they always show up hungry??? Yes they do especially the boys. Here is a great recipe you can throw together quick, easy, and with what you probably already have in your fridge...

  

2 to 3 pounds lean ground beef  

1 cup chopped onion 

1 cup chopped green bell pepper (optional for picky eaters) 

3 tsp garlic powder 

2 tbl mustard 

2 cup ketchup 

2 tbl brown sugar

1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, onion, and green pepper; drain off liquids.
2. Stir in the garlic powder, mustard, ketchup, and brown sugar; mix thoroughly. Reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper
