Richard's Sloppy Joes

Prep: 10 min., Cook: 20 min. Our adult taste-testers described this dish as mildly hot. If your family prefers less kick, adjust the amount of pickled jalapeños (and liquid from the jar) to suit their tastes.

Yield
Makes 6 to 8 servings
Ingredients
* 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
* 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes
* 1 1/4 cups ketchup
* 1/2 cup bottled barbecue sauce
* 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
* 2 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapeños (optional)
* 1 tablespoon liquid from pickled jalapeños (optional)
* 8 hamburger buns, toasted


Preparation
Cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring until beef crumbles and is no longer pink; drain well. Return cooked beef to skillet.

Stir in tomatoes, next 3 ingredients, and, if desired, jalapeños and liquid. Reduce heat to low, and simmer 15 minutes or until thickened. Serve mixture on toasted buns.

Note: For testing purposes only, we used KC Masterpiece Original Barbecue Sauce.
