[quote=Anonymous]Just tried this one tonight for 1st time. Got it from the internet.  I didn't plan dinner, and only thing defrosted was ground beef.  I liked it - cross between sloppy joe and a burger.  And the best part was it was so easy and quick.

Ingredients
1 pound of ground beef
1 loaf of French bread
2 tablespoons of butter, melted
1/4 cup of ketchup
2 heaping tablespoons of sweet pickle relish
2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard
10 turns of the pepper grinder
1 envelope of dry onion soup mix
1/2 cup of beef stock (try lower sodium here)
Chopped onion, chopped tomato and shredded lettuce, or optional toppings for garnish

Instructions

Cook ground beef in a medium size skillet over medium heat. Split the French bread in half lengthwise and brush cut side of bread with the melted butter; grill or toast in a skillet. Brown the ground beef until cooked through, breaking up to a fine crumble. While meat is browning, in a separate small bowl, combine the ketchup, sweet pickle, mustard and pepper. Add the onion soup mix to the ketchup mixture and stir together well.

To the browned ground beef, stir in the beef stock and the ketchup mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until heated through well. Spread the meat mixture over the bottom half of the toasted French bread. Top with chopped onion, tomato and shredded lettuce, or other toppings as desired. Top with other half of the toasted French bread and cut into serving slices. Serves 4, or 2 really hungry adults.

Note: I used Lipton Recipe Secrets Golden Onion soup mix. Some brands of beef broths and stocks can be pretty high in sodium, and in combination with the packaged onion soup mix, might be more salt than you like. A lower sodium broth would help to decrease that. To toast bread in the oven, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place the bread into the preheated oven for about 5 minutes per side, cut side up first then down, until lightly toasted and crunchy.
