Aunt Mary's Sloppy Joes


Here I am with my great Aunt Mary from my recent visit home. She is spunky and feisty and has the best most practical recipes you will ever find. Of course I am biased because she is my great aunt!

Sloppy Joes (I cut this in half for 2 people and still have leftovers)

3 tsp shortening - omit if you want
3 lbs. ground beef or turkey
3 large onions chopped
1 clove garlic chopped
1 clove garlic minced
1 tbsp salt
1.5 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp red pepper - or add 1/4 tsp black and 1/4 red because red does give a kick
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp worteschire sauce
1/4 c. flour
1 1/4 canned diced tomatoes
3/4 cup ketchup

so from here you just have to brown up all of it and voila serve on italian rolls or just hamburger buns.
