Sloppy Joes

I've probably pass this one on to ya'll before, but a college roommate of mine asked for it today (after 9 years, she still remembers it so it must be good)

2 lbs. hamburger
4 carrots, cut & diced
4 celery stalks, cut & diced
1 lrg. onion, chopped
1 green pepper, cut & diced
1 15oz. can of tomato sauce
1/4 cup vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1/4 cup prepared mustard
1/4 cup lemon juice

Brown hamburger, celery, carrots, onions & green pepper. Drain. Combine all ingredients. Cook on the stove top on low 1 1/2-2 hrs. or in a crockpot on low 6-8 hrs.

Serve on buns.

Elephant Monkey Choco-Delight Shake

Click on the picture to see a perfectly readable recipe with a bonus Pink Cloud shake recipe!!  Do you have vanilla ice cream but no chocolate?  Improvise by adding Nesquik powder or any chocolate syrup.
