CHURCH SUPPER SLOPPY JOES FOR 60

Sloppy Joe Recipe For Large Crowd, Church Cookbook Recipe.

Provided by Lea Ann Brown

Categories     Main Course Beef

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 pounds ground beef (extra lean)
1/3 cup flour
2 1/2 cups celery (diced)
2 1/2 cups onion (diced, about 2 medium onions)
1/2 cup mustard (or more to taste)
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar (light brown, or dark brown)
28 ounces catsup (3 1/2 cups)
2 cups water
60 Hamburger buns (small ones, but not slider buns)

Steps:

  • In a very large fry pan, brown hamburger meat in three batches. Once the first batch is about half way browned, add 1/3 of the onion, 1/3 of the celery and 1/3 of the flour. Once the meat is browned, move the mixture to a big soup pot and repeat with two more batches.
  • Use an 8 quart soup pot. I have used a 6 quart, it works but a little tight on space.
  • Once all of the ingredients are in the big soup pot, add remainder of the ingredients and simmer for at least 30 minutes. If the mixture seems dry, or needs a little punch of flavor, I add a little bit of your favorite bottled bbq sauce.
  • Adjust seasonings to taste and serve on hamburger buns.

THE BEST SLOPPY JOES



The Best Sloppy Joes image

This is weeknight comfort food at its finest. We created a homemade sauce that is tangy and flavorful but also quick and easy. We used both ketchup and canned tomato sauce for lots of tomato-y zip and just a touch of brown sugar for a bit of sweetness and slight caramel finish. Green bell pepper is a key addition; it really enhances the other ingredients, elevating the flavor profile into the realm of a true sloppy joe.
