Assembly Directions:

Brown ground beef, onion, and bell pepper together over medium heat.  Cook thoroughly until no pink color remains in the meat.  Drain and discard the pan liquids.  Stir in remaining ingredients and simmer for 30 minutes stirring occasionally.  Cool.  Package the Sloppy Joe Sandwich Filling in family size quantities, or package into individual servings.

Thawing and Serving Directions:

Thaw in the microwave or in the refrigerator.  Reheat over very low heat on the stove or microwave on medium high until heated through.  Stir the mixture several times during thawing and reheating.  Heap the sandwich filling onto opened sandwich buns and enjoy. 

Note from Tara:

It seems I’ve been making this recipe all of my life.  Leaving out the peppers and salsa will bring the spice level down to kid-compatible levels.
