Grandpa Joes Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the ground beef, onion, and green pepper. Cook until beef is browned, and drain off excess grease. Stir in the brown sugar, vinegar, ketchup and mustard, and season with cloves and salt. Simmer for 30 minutes on low. Serve on hamburger buns.

Steps:

• brown ground beef, drain excess fat.
• add 1 can french onion soup.
• bring to a boil (2-3mins).
• mix gravy and 3/4 cup water in separate bowl.
• add gravy to the beef, gently simmer to thicken gravy.10-15mins or to desired consistency.
• use flour to thicken if needed, by sprinkling flour slowly over beef.
• old fashioned hamburger buns or any buns or breads will work to serve.
• serving sizes depends on the size of the buns you use!

Steps:

• Brown hamburger and onion.
• Drain out grease.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer 15-20 minutes with lid.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the ketchup, relish and brown sugar; mix well. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until heated through. Spoon onto buns.

Steps:

• Brown beef and onion; if using onion powder, add salt to taste.
• Add combination of ketchup, paste, and sauce; the amount used will depend on how much meat. Use more ketchup for a sweeter taste.
• Add chili powder and seasonings. I usually "dust" the meat with the chili powder twice (and yes, this will make it mild, but I have children that won't eat it if I make it spicier) and the italian seasoning once with a few dashes of oregano. Stir those together and let simmer for a minute or so. Taste - add more of the seasonings you want. (If I use closer to two pounds, I usually like more chili powder.).
• After the seasonings are how you want them, add the parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• In a skillet, saute the onion, green pepper and ground beef until beef is browned. Drain any liquid or grease off.
• Add brown sugar and chili sauce and mix well.
• Add tomato paste, then fill the can halfway with water (about 3 ounces) and stir into mixture.
• Simmer on low heat until hot and bubbly. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve on buns or homemade bread with your choice of condiments. We like to melt cheese on top!
