These are sloppy joes but were renamed sloppy annies at our house because Annie liked them so much as a child.

Ingredients for 10 servings

• 3 lb rump roast, cooked and shredded
• 1 jar chili sauce (1 pint home bottled-recipe in this book)
• 1 cup ketchup
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp pepper
• 4 tbsp cider vinegar
• .5 cup brown sugar
• 2 tbsp prepared mustard

Steps

1. Use beef that has been cooked in a crock pot because it is more tender and shreds nicely. (This is a great recipe for using left over Sunday roasts.) Mix all ingredients together in a pot and simmer for 45 minutes. Shred meat and pour enough sauce on it to moisten and make sloppy annies. Store any unused sauce in a jar for later use or freeze. Serve on toasted hamburger buns.
2. Pork or chicken can also be used.
