Meat and Veggie Sloppy Joes

Step 1: Heat saucepan over medium heat while preparing veggies. *Hint, if your kids are really picky, use the food processor to dice veggies until very small dice. Spray saucepan with cooking spray and add carrots, celery and onion. Saute for 3-4 minutes then add ground hamburger & chopped bell pepper. Cook over medium high heat until veggies are tender and meat is browned. Drain, if needed.

Step 2: Return to medium heat and add sloppy joe mix, bring to boil then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes until veggies are completely cooked through and sauce is desired thickness. If you are in a rush, you can simply serve when hot OR you could put into crockpot until serving. Store in fridge in covered container or freeze. Can be re-heated in microwave and stovetop.
