Traditional Version:
1 lb hamburger
8 oz. can tomato sauce
5-6 T ketchup
1 packet Lipton Onion Soup mix (or knock-off)
Brown hamburger in non-stick skillet. Add other ingredients and turn down the heat. Let it get a little bubbly and lose some moisture (almost feels like it starts to caramelized).
Eat on buns or Bryce’s genius idea of late - Doritos or corn chips!
——————————————-
Survival Version:
We were in Almere (Holland) visiting friends Marja and George and the subject of sloppy joes came up. They’d never tried them, so I decided to make an attempt (that didn’t involve store-bought ketchup or Lipton Onion Soup Mix. George calls such make-it-work efforts “survival version”.
500 g half beef/half pork ground meat
3 70 g cans “concentrato di pomodoro” (somewhere between tomato paste and tomato sauce)
90 ml cider vinegar
60 ml (4 T) dark brown sugar and/or sweetener
1 t salt
1 t onion powder
1/2 t garlic powder
1.5 t canned chipotle/adobo sauce (remove skin & seeds as best you can and mince the flesh)
50 g (1/2 container) fried onions (kind of like unbraided French’s fried onions)
Brown meat. Add other ingredients and a little water and let it cook down and let flavors meld. Eat on buns.
