The key ingredient in these midwestern-style sloppy joes is a can of chicken gumbo soup. Try different varieties of the soup to change things up a bit.
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 pound ground beef
1 can chicken gumbo soup
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
8 hamburger buns
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and onion until the beef is cooked and onion is tender. Drain off any fat and season the beef to taste with salt, pepper, and any other spices you wish.
Stir the soup, ketchup, and mustard into the beef mixture and bring to a low simmer. Let simmer for 10 minutes or until the mixture is heated through and the liquid is reduced so the mixture is "slushy" like sloppy joes.
Serve on buns.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.

The chicken gumbo is great in this. Easy way to make sloppy joes that aren't too ketchupy like some recipes are. We really enjoy this.

This is the recipe my mom always used and I hated it, now that I'm married to a beef farmer and have 3 kids I need creative recipes for ground beef. I decided to try mom's recipe one day and made one huge change, I pureed the soup first, it eliminates the huge chunks of okra and other vegetables that might turn kids off. Now my whole family loves it and it's a staple in our household

I have made this same recipe for years, I add about 1/2 cup of chopped onions and sometimes a little barbecue sauce. My whole family loves it!
