Quick Great Northern Bean Sloppy Joes

I'm always looking for more meals to make with beans, they're hearty, healthy, inexpensive ~and~ freeze well for lunches. These Great Northern Bean Sloppy Joes are extremely flavorful and cook up in no time using canned beans. They are quite versatile with various serving options too. I think you'll like them if you try them folks:@)

Great Northern Bean Sloppy Joes
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 C onion, diced
1/4 C diced red (preferably) or green bell pepper
1/2 tsp Montreal Steak Seasoning-can add a little more if you like it robust
1 Tblsp red wine vinegar
1 Tblsp Worcestershire Sauce
8 oz can tomato sauce
1 Tblsp tomato paste
2 Tblsp brown sugar-can add a little more if desired, you know your crowd
15 oz can Great Northern Beans, drained and rinsed
  1. Brown beef in skillet, drain extra grease if necessary, reserving only enough to cook the veggies. 
  2. Add onion and pepper, cook 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in everything else. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes or until desired consistency and veggies are tender.
  4. Can be served in a bowl as is (with crackers is nice), or over rice, or on rolls as a sandwich... or even as a dip with tortilla chips.
Eat well and have a happy day:@)
