Hey Amy!

…you love Eric Beamer.

When I was in elementary school there was a boy named Eric Beamer.  His name rhymed with steamer (not the shellfish delicacy nor the electronic gadget to take out wrinkles), something we had in the cafeteria weekly.  We chanted this at the table every time they served us steamers.  Poor Eric.  Many of you call them Sloppy Joes.  We PA people called them steamers.  Still do.

Today’s recipe is Nany’s.  I had forgotten how delicious her steamers were until I saw a cooking show making these sloppy sandwiches and thought to myself, “I must share Nan’s recipe with my readers!”

Ingredients:

2 lb. ground beef (or turkey)
1 medium onion, chopped
3/4 c. catsup (Nany’s words!)
1 tsp. sugar
3 Tbsp. mustard
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 can tomato soup

Brown ground meat and onion in skillet, add remaining ingredients and simmer for 30 minutes.  Serve on fresh rolls.

I use brown sugar in place of granulated sometimes if I want a very slightly different taste.  I also occasionally substitute BBQ sauce for tomato soup.
