Recipe - Sloppy Joes Venitian Sandwiches

8 Hamburger buns
1 pound Ground beef
1 lg Onion; minced
One half teaspoon Salt
One fourth teaspoon Pepper
One fourth cup Chopped celery; or more
BBQ Sauce
8 ounce Tomato sauce
One half cup Catsup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Prepared mustard; or less
by half
2 tablespoon Brown sugar, packed
Water; as needed

Crumble and fry burger with the onion in deep fry pan. Drain fat. Add
remaining ingredients. (Please measure, especially the bbq sauce.) Add
water as needed, now and while cooking. Simmer (slight bubble) for 15
minutes. Serves 4 to 8.

Healthier Variation To make more of a chili, but still serve as a
sandwich...
add more celery, a chopped carrot, a can of spicy, cooked small red
beans. Substitute ground turkey for the beef, go halfies on the meat, or
omit it all together.
