Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

A zestier version of sloppy joes that combines ground beef and canned corned beef and slow cooks them in a tangy barbecue-style sauce. Serve on hamburger buns.

2 pounds ground beef
1/4 cup chopped celery
1 can (12 ounce size) corned beef, chopped
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 can (8 ounce size) tomato sauce
2 cups ketchup
1 cup water
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease. Stir in the celery, corned beef, and onion. Mix well and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion and celery are soft. Sprinkle the mixture with the flour and mix well.
Add the corned beef mixture to the crock pot. Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, water, vinegar, brown sugar, chili powder, bell pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 2-3 hours or until heated through.
Serve hot on buns.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
