For those of us who are expat’s, and those of you not afraid to try it, I bring you something of my childhood:

Manwich Sloppy Joes

8 oz. can tomato sauce (pessata to Europeans)
1 cup ketchup
1 Tbls. dried minced onion
1 Tbls. green pepper, diced fine
1 teas. salt
1/2 teas. dried minced garlic
1/4 teas. celery seed
1 teas. prepared mustard (like american style French’s)
1/2 teas. chili powder

Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Brown 1 pound ground beef, drain fat, add sauce. Bring to boil, lower heat, simmer for 10 minutes.

Serve with toasted hamburger buns.
