From Sherwood, Oregon, Jackie Bankenship shares her secret to stretching ground beef into saucy and satisfying sloppy joes. She adds bulgur to her tangy barbecue sandwiches for a healthy measure of fiber. Ingredients:
2-3/4 cups water, divided |
2/3 cup bulgur |
1-1/2 pounds ground beef |
1-1/2 cups chopped celery |
1 large onion, chopped |
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup ketchup |
1 tablespoon white vinegar |
1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
12 hamburger buns, split |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil. Stir in bulgur. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat. Drain and squeeze dry; set aside.
2. In a large nonstick skillet, cook the beef, celery and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the tomato sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper and remaining water. Stir in reserved bulgur.
3. Transfer to a 2-qt. baking dish. Cover and bake at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until heated through. Serve on buns. Yield: 12 servings.
