How To Make Sloppy Joes

Hm...Sloppy Joes. Nuthin' like it.

1 lb. ground beef
1 12 oz. can of crushed tomatoes/tomato sauce
1 medium onion
molasses
fennel seeds
salt and black pepper
To replace the "rub" I used, a generous and to-taste mix of chili powder, paprika, and/or mustard powder would do the trick. Or whatever you like.

Brown the beef whilst dicing the onion fine. Toss the onions in and cook until beef is near done and onions are translucent. Pour in enough molasses to lightly coat all the beef (a couple of tablespoons). Pour in the crushed tomatoes, fennel seeds, salt and pepper, and reduce until meat barely drips when picked up.

Slap on some bread to serve.
