If you're like me you spend most of the day trying to think "What's for dinner?". Sometimes I want to try something new or even just remember a good family favorite. I created this blog as a quick and easy way to help jog my memory and to share our family favorites across the web. My sister-in-law Marie and I post some of our most successful recipes with pictures. Bon Appetite!

Sloppy Joes

This recipe comes for the Ottley side of our family. This is a great go to meal for a large group just double or triple the batch pop it in your crockpot and your good to go!

1 1/2 lb ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced

Brown these ingredients, in the meantime combine the following ingredients in a crockpot, you may want to line it with a Reynolds brand crockpot liner for easier clean up.

3/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup water
1-2 Tbls brown sugar
2 Tbls prepared mustard
2 Tbls vinegar
2 Tbls worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tsp chili powder

Set crockpot on low and cook 6-8 hours or 3-4 on high. Serve on hamburger buns. We like to put sliced cheese on our sandwiches for an extra special treat.
