Sloppy Joes

2 lb. lean ground beef
½ cup chopped onion
1 cup catsup
½ cup water
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. mustard
2 Tbsp. cider vinegar
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 egg

Brown ground beef and onion in large frying pan. Drain grease. Add next 6 ingredients and simmer ½ hour. Beat egg and add to the mixture. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve on buns. Serves about 8.

I served these at our recent Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet. Because i wanted to let the mix simmer in a crock pot, i did not add the egg (i thought it would thicken up). But it didn't, and came out a little runny. I recommend adding the egg.
