Barbeque
Fry together in a little oil if needed, until hamburger is brown:
1 pound hamburger
1 chopped onion
Mix together:
1/3 c. ketchup
1.5 Tbs. brown sugar
2 Tbs. vinegar
1 tsp. prepared mustard
1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. salt
Pour sauce over meat and onions in skillet. Simmer about 20 minutes and serve on rolls.
We ate our barbeque sandwiches with German slaw (also known as pepper cabbage). I used cabbage, spring onions, and parsley, which were local and organic. From Mennonite Country Style, this version freezes well. I also made oven sweet potato fries with plenty of salt and pepper.
A little thriftiness:
Instead of simmering the barbeque on the stovetop, I popped it in the oven where the sweet potatoes were roasting at 425. Worked fine. Then I also warmed the buns by wrapping them in a dishtowel and setting them just under my oven's vent. Also worked fine.

Another bun heating option....I put them in a covered casserole and they hot up real nice along with whatever else is in the oven.

I am seriously someone who sometimes chooses not to go to a fellowship meal when everyone is supposed to bring enough BBQ for their family to add to the pot because I had no idea how to do it and it seemed totally daunting. I had no idea it was so easy! (Although a voice from the living room just came: "You know what's easier? A can of Manwich.") LOVE the sweet potato wedges idea.
A, I know what you mean! I actually asked my mom for her recipe because I never never made it before (it's not really the kind of food our generation eats - is that why, maybe?)
You tell your husband that Manwich doesn't make the house smell that good, ok? That's the secret bonus to cooking!
totally do the oven-vent warmer thing. Works great for melting butter too!
