How To Make sloppy joes

  • 1
    Saute beef, pepper and onions in bacon fat, add chili powder, garlic and tomato sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, then simmer for 20 min. Drain and add beans, simmer another 10-15 min. The mixture should be runny. Take out 3-4 T of liquid, and mix with the flour until smooth. Pour back into the mixture and cook to the right consistency.
