Open-Faced Sloppy Joe

Once in a while you just need an easy dinner....maybe it's been a long day and you want something that will satisfy everyone but it won't take your entire evening!  Well, kids and adults love this one and it is an easy fix!

Open-Faced Sloppy Joe

1 lb. lean ground beef
2 cups shredded mild cheddar cheese
6 cherry tomatoes - finely chopped
2 green onions
1/4 small white onion, finely diced
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 can of petite diced tomatoes (juices drained)
1 Tbsp. Italian Seasonings
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground pepper

Brown ground beef in a skillet.  Drain the grease and put it back in the skillet.  Chop 6 cherry tomatoes up into small pieces, finely dice 2 green onions, chop 1/4 small white onion and add all three to the pan.  Add the seasonings.  Open a 15 1/2 oz. can of petite diced tomatoes and drain off the juices.  Add to the pan along with the sugar.  Simmer all ingredients for about 10 minutes, stirring often.  Remove from heat.

Meanwhile, toast 4 to 6 pieces of bread.  Place the bread on plates and top with the Sloppy Joe mixture.  Top with shredded cheddar cheese and serve.

Note:  If you like your Sloppy Joes a little sweeter, you can add 2 Tbsp. sugar.

Enjoy!
