Tomato based sloppy joe recipe?
Does anyone have a good recipe for sloppy joes? the ones my mom used to make were made with barbeque sauce. i am looking for something more like what they used to serve in school cafeterias. i know that sounds silly. i want something with a tomato base... sorry if this isn't very clear. any help would be appreciated...thanks

Its funny you ask that. I make this recipe BECAUSE it tastes like I remember in the school cafeteria! :) Pretty simple recipe too and makes a LOT.
INGREDIENTS
2 pounds ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1/2 cup ketchup
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
12 hamburger buns, split and toasted
DIRECTIONS
In a skillet, cook beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in tomato sauce and paste, ketchup, brown sugar and soy sauce; mix well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. spoon about 1/2 cup meat mixture onto each bun.
