Iron Chef Mommy / Barbecue..just like mama used to make..

Barbecue..just like mama used to make..

Well, the last two weeks have been pretty difficult for all of us. But, it’s back to the grind. Brett’s back to work, and I’m back to, well, mom. It’s been a whirlwind and hopefully things will get easier. I have found my way back to the kitchen…. armed with a handful of my MIL’s recipes. To have my kitchen smell like her house… makes me feel closer to her. One of my favorite things she used to make was her hamburger barbecue. Yeah, it’s a fancy name for a sloppy joy, apparently. She never called it that. Anyway, this is great to make for lunch, dinner, for the kids (mine LOVES it)… and it freezes well. I didn’t need to freeze it. I actually doubled the recipe and ate pretty much all of it in about 4 days. Considering that was the only thing I ate though…. we’ve all shed a few stress pounds over the last few weeks. So, when my Cooking The Booksgirls sent us a beautiful basket of goodies, I dove in. Cookies make everything better. Especially when they’re gigantic.

Anyway, here’s the recipe for Momma’s Hamburger Barbecue. Make it… enjoy it. It’s delicious!

You’ll need:

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup ketchup
2 Tbs light brown sugar
1 Tbs vinegar (you can use either… I used cider because it’s all I had)
1 tsp yellow mustard
2 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup finely chopped green pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped onion

Then:

In a saucepan, combine ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, simmer 1/2 hour. Brown ground beef in a skillet. Add the vegetables and saute until veggies are tender. Drain any visible fat (this step is optional. I use 90/10 beef, so I leave the little bit of fat in there). Pour the sauce over the meat mixture. Simmer for 5 minutes, and serve on hamburger buns.

I have to add a plug here – please check out my friend Yoyo’s site Topstitch. On the 2nd of every month, she donates 100% of her sales to a worthy charity. Last month, the fight for Mollie’s Fund was a great success. This month, she is donating her sales to Let’s Bring ‘Em Home. This charity is for the military. What they do is they collect money (or frequent flyer miles) and buy tickets for soldiers so they can come home to their families for the holidays. Please visit her site, her items are beautiful and even the smallest purchase will make a difference. So, if you’re visiting my blog today (Friday), please click the link above and check out her items. Thanks!

I hope to be back in full swing now. Maddie and I are going to make some Easter cupcakes today.. and I am backlogged with recipes I’ve been meaning to post. I’m featured on Foodie Blogroll today as well! So if you found me from there, please bookmark me and come back and visit There are more product reviews coming soon!!

I’m so sorry for your loss. Honoring your MIL with her recipes is a fantastic memorial. These sandwiches sound like they’d be a hit here, I’ll have to make them sometime soon. I really like your blog, I found you on foodieblogroll.com
