"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Directions:
Directions:
Sauté onions in a little bit of olive oil until softened. Add ground beef and brown. Drain off the fat. Add soup mix, mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce. Stir and simmer over medium low heat for 30 minutes. Taste and adjust mustard level to taste. Serve on buns with cheese slices if desired. We always serve these with Tator tots and or ruffles plain chips. Dad loves to use the chips to scoop up the meat. It is not Dad's sloppy joes without the chips!

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is a recipe passed down from Grandma Jan to Dad. He ate this regularly growing up. You all know this is very different than the sloppy joes you grew up with on the west coast. We all grew up with Manwich style sloppy joes from a can or a spice package. When your Dad introduced these to me, I was skeptical for sure. But I have never gone back to the red sauced recipe I knew before.
