Ingredients

4 Pounds Ground Beef
3 Cups Onion, chopped
1 ½ Cups Bell Peppers, chopped
2 Cups Ketchup
2 Cups Tomato Sauce
2 Cups Beef Broth or Water
1 Tablespoon Salt, more or less to Taste (use less if using salty broth)
1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
1 Tablespoon Yellow Mustard

Instructions

Make Sloppy Joe Filling

Brown the ground beef. Drain off the fat.
Put the beef and remaining ingredients into a large pot. Stir well.
Bring to a boil and simmer 5 minutes.


How to Can Sloppy Joe Filling

Fill jars with hot sloppy joe filling. Leave 1″ inch headspace. Remove air bubbles and wipe jar rims. Secure lids and bands.
Process pints for 75 minutes, quarts for 90 minutes at 10 pounds of pressure. Adjust the pressure based on elevation and style of canner. I can mine at 15 pounds of pressure, for example. The National Center for Home food Preservation has a handy chart if you’re unsure.
Let jars cool and check seals. Remove rings and store sealed jars in the pantry. Store any unsealed jars in the refrigerator and use within a week or freeze for use later.

To Use

Pour the filling into a pot, cover, and bring to a simmer. Heat through. Serve on bread or buns, over rice or noodles.
