Beef Bunburgers

Really they mean sloppy joes. But maybe that name is trademarked or something. So this is what we had last night. Traditionally Steve hasn't really loved sloppy joes. He thinks they are too sloppy. Seriously. But this had some different ingredients, and I had never seen a recipe for them that didn't involve a can of Manwich. So this is from Better Homes & Gardens, which seems a bit odd that a traditional white trash meal like sloppy joes would be in a cookbook like this, but there it was. Anyway...

Beef Bunburgers
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped green pepper
1 10 3/4 oz can condensed tomato soup
1 1/2 tsp vinegar
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp poultry seasoning (?)
1/2 tsp dried thyme, crushed
1/4 tsp salt
6 to 8 hamburger buns, split and toasted

In large skillet cook ground beef, onion, and green pepper until beef is brown and onion is tender. Drain well. Stir in the soup, vinegar, dry mustard, poultry seasoning, thyme, and salt. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, about 15 minutes or until desired consistency. Serve on toasted hamburger buns. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

So this was okay but not great. Steve and Sam ate all theirs, Emma ate a few bites under duress. I ate most of mine. It just wasn't anything exciting. So try it if you want. Talk to you soon!!
