INGREDIENTS

3/4 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper

3/4 pound ground round

2 cups no-salt-added tomato sauce

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1 tablespoon prepared mustard

1 teaspoon chili powder

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

12 (1 1/2-ounce) rolls, split

PREPARATION

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add first 3 ingredients; cook until beef is browned, stirring to crumble. Stir in tomato sauce and next 8 ingredients (tomato sauce through black pepper); reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Spoon 1/4 cup beef mixture over bottom half of each bun. Cover with top halves.

Makes 12 sandwiches

Keep the meat mixture warm in a slow cooker set on low. Carrots and vegetable chips make great sides.
