Sloppy Joes Seasoning Mix

Here's another time saver for those busy nights. I'll make this in bulk and use 6 Tbsp per dinner.

Sloppy Joes Seasoning Mix
1 Tbsp dried minced onion
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dried minced garlic
1/4 tsp celery seed
1 tsp green pepper flakes
1 tsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp chili powder

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl until well blended. Store in small glass jar in a cool, dry place and use within 6 months.
Makes 1 package (about 3 T) of mix.

Sloppy Joes: Brown 1 1/2 lb lean ground beef in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Drain excess grease. Add 6 Tbsp seasoning mix, 1 cup water, 2 (8 oz) cans of tomato sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve over toasted hamburger buns.
