Julie's Sloppy Joes

Whenever I have a card party or birthday party, I sometimes serve sloppy joes and they are always a huge hit. Everyone always ask for the recipe and it keeps getting passed on down the line. So here it is, I will share the recipe with everyone!
Sloppy Joe Recipe-4 servings
1-Pound Ground Round
1-small onion-chopped
1-green pepper-chopped
1-8oz can tomato sauce
1-1/2 cup of ketchup
1-tablespoon packed light brown sugar
1-tablespoon of worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon dry mustard
salt & pepper as desired

Cook Ground Round with onion and green pepper until hamburger is done. Drain. Pour into a crock pot and add the rest of ingredients. Stir. Turn crock pot on high until it starts to boil and then turn down to low and simmer for 4 hours. Also, stir about 1 time every hour. If the sloppy joes start to look to thick, you can add some water and stir but do not add to much.
Serve on hamburger buns.
**This recipe is for 4 servings and I when I have a party I make it for 20 servings.
So I use 5lbs ground round, 1 large onion, 2 green peppers, 2 1/2 cups of ketchup, 5 T packed brown sugar, 5 T of worcestershire sauce,1 large can of tomato sauce, 5-1/8 t of dry mustard, salt & pepper as desired. Enjoy!
