Mama's Sloppy Joes

1 stick of margarine
2 chopped onions
2 teaspoons of salt
3 teaspoons of dry mustard
2  8 ounce cans of tomato sauce
1 1/2 cups grated cheese
2  cans of cream corn
4 pounds ground beef
2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Melt butter, add ground beef, onions, garlic salt, pepper and dry mustard.  Stir until meat is brown.
Add vinegar, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, cheese and corn.  Simmer 15-30 minutes.  Serve on warm buns.

The way Mama would always serve it was delicious.  She would open the buns and lightly butter them.  She would toast the buns.  Then she would spread mayonnaise on each piece of the buns.  She would then top the Mao with a slice of tomato.  Season the tomato with a little salt and pepper. Then she would spoon the Sloppy Joe over the tomato and serve it open face.

Stuffed Baked Potato

Baking potatoes were on sale recently and I made a dish for dinner that I had done once before that was my own creation.  I had forgotten how good it was.  Thought you might like to try it too.

4 baking potatoes
1 lb. of smoked sausage
1 onion, diced
1/2 stick of butter
grated cheese
sour cream
salt and pepper

Scrub and bake potatoes.  While potatoes are baking, slice or dice smoked sausage.  Melt butter and add the sausage and the diced onion. Saute' until the onions are done.  When the potatoes are done,
slice them open and then squeeze from the ends to open the potatoes up wide.  Fill with the butter, onion and smoked sausage mixture.  Top with grated cheese and sour cream, if you like and season with salt and pepper to taste.
