Best Ever Sloppy Joes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 lb breakfast sausage
1 bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup flour

Preparation

In large pan, I use a large electric skillet, brown the ground beef and sausage. Drain off the fat.
Add remaining ingredients to the pan except for the flour and mix well.
Cook on low heat, stirring occasionally breaking up any large chunks of meat.
Once mixture has cooked through (approximately 60 mins) and is slightly thickend sift flour over the top and mix in well to further thicken.
Note: This can also be made in a crockpot, simply put the browned meats in the crock pot - add the remaining ingredients except for flour, cook on low 6-8 hours and then turn to high and stir in the flour to thicken.
