Anyone have a good sloppy joe recipe?

I know there are a million of them on the internet, but I'd like something tried and true!

Thanks!

this is one my family really likes a lot.

1 lb ground beef
brown meat, then add

1 tbsp onion flakes
1 cup ketchup
1 tbsp mustard
1 1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup water
grated carrot and/or zucchini

serve over buns, great with some shredded cheddar on top.

My favorite is to use a can of chicken gumbo soup, add some ketchup, mustard, and a little worchesterhire sauce, and heat up. That's how my mom made them when I was growing up.

My recipe (I don't measure so these are approximates :shifty):

1lb Laura's Lean Beef 92% or 96% lean
1-8oz can tomato sauce
1/4-1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup of diced green pepper
1/4 tsp chili powder
dash of worchestershire
1 T. brown sugar (or molasses)

Brown beef in skillet, crumbling while it cooks. Drain grease if necessary. Add remaining ingredients and simmer on low, stirring frequently for approximately 15 minutes. Serve on buns and top w/desired toppings.

(We like Rudi's Organic WW buns and I top mine with sharp cheddar and mustard. :yum)
