Nostalgic comfort food and a kid's delight. Been a fixture in our home for years. Not your typical Sloppy Joe. My daughter and I came up with this recipe when she was four. It was her first cooking experience. After seeing me add the beer, I had a difficult time getting her to eat it. Maybe this is the reason she dislikes cooking to this day. When asked by my son-in-law about her distaste for cooking, I innocently blamed my wife. Note: It freezes well and is a great option for camping fare.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 4 large burger buns, lightly toasted
- 1/2 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 16 ounce canned pork & beans (we like Bush's)
- 1/2 teaspoon Smoky Montreal Steak Seasoning
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/3 cup beer
- 5 ounce tomato juice
- 1/3 cup BBQ sauce (we like Stubb's Original)
- 4 large burger buns, lightly toasted

Directions
- Step 1
Fry bacon until cooked, but not overly crisp. Drain grease and break bacon into pieces and set aside.
- Step 2
Fry beef, breaking into small chunks. Drain all but 1 tablespoon of grease, and set aside. Saute onion in grease and add remaining ingredients.
- Step 3
Simmer until hot and serve open faced on buns with Kosher Dill pickles on the side. Very juicy...not intended to be a "pick up and bite" sandwich unless you like puddles in your lap.
