Sloppy Joe Sandwiches

1# ground beef
1 tbsp dry minced onion
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1c ketchup
1 tbsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Brown beef in a skillet (I like cast iron). Drain fat if needed. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Stir occasionally. Serve between two slices of bread/buns or we like to dump it on one slice and eat it with a fork.

I like to serve this with baked taters and fresh fruit.

Leftover sloppy joe is versatile. I have used it as a taco filling, a topping for nachos and in the chili soup pot.
