Sloppy Joe's with White Bread

Hey Readers (which mostly likely means just my mom)!

Last night we made sloppy joe's.  We didn't have any bread around to serve them on.  I made the trip to the store and came home with 20 pieces of store brand white bread for only $1!  This is 4x less than we normally spend on a loaf of Health Nut bread.  Around our house growing up we always ate white bread.  Stephanie didn't.  Needless to say, she was shocked.  At any rate, I need to enjoy this loaf of white bread while it lasts, because it may be our last for a while.

Sloppy Joe's (adapted from http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Sloppy-Joes-II/Detail.aspx)
1 - 1.5 lbs lean ground beef
.25-.75 cups chopped onion (we used yellow)
.25-.75 cups chopped green pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp yellow mustard
1 tbsp brown sugar
.75 cups ketchup

Brown the meat, onion, pepper and garlic.  Pour off the liquid.  Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer for fifteen minutes.  Serve on WHITE BREAD!

*One modification to the recipe I saw suggested that once you drain the liquid, you can add everything to a crock pot for 3-4 hours.  That would probably be really good.
