I stirred all of the ingredients together well to make the sloppy joe sauce.

Once the ground beef was fully cooked, I drained the excess grease from the pan and then poured the sauce over the beef.

I tried this tonight and itโ€™s a bit too sweet for me. I will try it again sometime, but next time I do this I will try using less brown sugar.
