Sloppy Joes

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 stalk celery, chopped (optional)
1/3 – 1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup water (approx)
salt and pepper to taste
5 hamburger buns

Brown ground beef with onions and celery. Season with salt and pepper. Add ketchup and water. Cover and simmer over low heat about 15 minutes, until tender. Fill buns with meat sauce and eat like a burger, or put sauce on each half and eat open face with a fork. Napkins might come in handy. Munchy vegetables, potato chips, green salad, potato salad or macaroni salad are some ideas for good accompaniments.
