Robyn's Sloppy Joes

Ok, so I am pretty proud of myself. I absolutely can't stand sloppy joes, but my husband loves them so I decided to make them, but... I didn't have a recipe so I decided to get creative. I got a couple different recipes from people and then I improvised.

1/2 cup ketchup
1 T mustard
1/3 cup brown sugar

Brown hamb. onion and green pepper. Add ketchup, mustard, soup, worchestershire sauce & brown sugar. Cook over medium heat. add beans. add chili powder, curry powder and garlic powder. simmer. you can add more of the powders and some salt and pepper to taste (don't go overboard on the curry powder though).
