Anna-
Try this for Sloppy Joes. I think that all should be available to you.
1 pound ground beef
1 Tablespoon oil
2 cups chopped onion-yellow preferred
4 cloves fresh garlic-finely minced
1/2-3/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 cup tomato ketchup
1 cup diced green bell pepper
1/4 cup red wine (I use either an inexpensive Rose’ or Chianti
1 Tablespoon light brown sugar
1 Tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
1 Tablespoon white vinegar
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
1 Teaspoon chili powder-if unavailable omit

Pre-heat a heavy skillet add the oil and cook the beef,onion and garlic over medium high heat until beef is browned and onion tender-drain excess oil then add the remaining ingredients and simmer over low heat for 45-60minutes. I the mixture isn’t as thick as you like when the cooking time is up, uncover and simmer until thickened. If mixture is too thick add a little water or some more wine.
I like to serve this on buttered and toasted hamburger buns open faced and eaten with a fork. If hamburger buns are unavailable use whatever bun is available-Kaiser Rolls would work, but whatever roll you use a soft roll is preferred
An alternete recipe would to be to season a 2 pound boneless beef roast with salt and pepper, then brown well in oil and cook on low in a crock-pot for 7-8 hours or until the meat will shred into thin strips. Then add a double batch of sauce and allow to cook for another hour to mix flavors. This would produce a ‘Pulled Beef’ sandwich. This would work well to put in before work and finish when you got home.
I hope you will enjoy this!
