SWEET AND SLOPPY JOE

Steps:

• 1) Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add Ground Beef, bell pepper and onion; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking beef into 3/4-inch crumbles and stirring occasionally. Remove drippings. 2) Stir in tomato sauce, water, raisins, ancho chili powder and oregano; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered, 15 to 18 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly, stirring occasionally. 3) Evenly divide beef mixture on bottom half of each bun. Garnish with toppings, as desired; close sandwiches. Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed Ground Beef. Ground Beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160F. Color is not a reliable indicator of Ground Beef doneness.
