Pumpkin Sloppy Joes Recipe

Pumpkin Sloppy Joes Recipe:

 

Ingredients

1/2 pound lean ground beef

3 tbsp finely chopped onion

1/4 cup ketchup

2 tbsp tomato juice

1/4 tsp chili powder

Dash ground cloves and nutmeg

Dash pepper

2/3 cup canned pumpkin

2 hamburger buns, split

In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.

Add ketchup, tomato juice, chili powder, cloves, nutmeg and pepper; mix well. Bring to a boil. Stir in pumpkin. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 15-20 min or until heated through. Serve on buns.

This recipe was yummy. It reminded my of my childhood: put some potato chips or pickles on top! I didn’t use cloves, just nutmeg. I also used Bloody Mary Mix instead of tomato juice, because that’s all I had. But I think it adds some extra flavor.
