I made this for mine and my SO dinner last night.A few changes were done to the recipe. First to get a bigger depth of flavor,the ground beef and onion were browned in about 1/8 cup bacon grease.As the meat/onion mixture was browning,a bit of pepper and garlic powder was sprinkled on the top.For the BBQ sauce,a sweet hickory smoke flavor was used.I did use the full amount of mustard and ketchup. Since my SO can't handle vinegar very well, it was cut down to just 1/2 tsp. In addition to the garlic powder I used when browning the meat,the amount stated in the recipe was upped to 1 tsp..After doing a "Quality Taste Test ",I felt the brown sugar wasn't needed. My SO and I both enjoyed this. Along with the Sloppy Joes we had baked beans & tater tots. Thanks for posting and " Keep Smiling :) "

I automatically doubled this recipe as I know my two guys love bbq's. They'll eat this for left-overs for days. Plain too, like you noted in your introduction, or served with chips. They don't always need a bun. A nice blend of savory sweet with the addition of the bbq sauce. Made for Ground Beef Tag.~
