Sloppy Selahs

Tonight we ate Sloppy Selahs (AKA: Sloppy Joes) for dinner.  I have never had a sloppy joe from a can (which may be delicious, I haven't a clue!) because my mom just always made a super simple, super yummy, homemade(ish) sloppy joe that her mother used to make her...and maybe her mother made her??...I have no idea who originated this recipe but I'm sure glad it's been past on!! Here it is:

Ingredients:

1 lb hamburger
1 can chicken gumbo soup
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tsp mustard
2 Tbsp brown sugar

Ground the hamburger and drain.  Add the rest and heat.  That easy!

Place on buns...with a slice of American cheese if you wanna get crazy (I personally like to leave it cheeseless) and serve with green beans or whatever veggie you prefer (and, for leftovers, I like to use it as a "dip" with tortilla chips).

**Tip: Up until like 4 years ago Campbell's used to make a regular chicken gumbo, but now all they have is a light version, which is a bit more watered down, so I drain a little bit of the liquid before adding it to the beef.
