    sloppy Joe mixture
  • Add 1 medium yellow onion, diced and continue to cook until onion is translucent. Yellow onions have the strongest onion flavor and are rich in antioxidants, so we like them better than other onions. Once the onions are translucent, add all remaining ingredients and stir.
