Tasty Tuesday Sloppy Joes!

Had to delve into my files for this one that Donna sent me in January 2011. No clue as to why I haven't used it before, but I'm glad it was there ready for me to post. Thanks, Donna!

This recipe is a favorite of  the kids. It came from my Mom. When I bring it for potlucks and football parties.. It's a big hit.  Al ot of kids big and old don't like Green peppers. So this  one fits them better.  It's fine for a Private party too with your favorite hunkster. I decided  to add a little wine and Miguel's Buns. What's Sloppy Joes without great BUNS  Enjoy!!

TASTY NEAT SLOPPY JOES(Serves 8)

Ingredients

• 2 pounds lean ground beef
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 8 hamburger buns

Directions

1. Place ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until evenly browned, stirring to crumble. I like to use a potato masher to even out the lumps. Add onion and celery, cover the pan, and cook until tender and transparent, about 5 minutes. Drain off any grease.
2. Stir the tomato soup (undiluted), ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce into the beef mixture. Season with salt and garlic powder. Heat to a simmer over low heat, and cook until thoroughly heated, stirring frequently to prevent it from burning on the bottom.
3. Spoon the hot beef mixture onto buns, which may be toasted first, and serve.
