Bar-B-Q

Bar-B-Q is a family-pleasing sloppy joe with tender crumbles of lean beef simmered in a tangy, sweet sauce of tomato and French onion soups, ketchup, and brown sugar. The mixture cooks down to a glossy, spoonable filling that’s perfect for piling onto soft buns. Serve it for casual weeknight dinners, game days, or potlucks when you want comforting, nostalgic flavors.
