Nbr: recommend a sloppy joe recipe!

My DH and I are having a meet the baby/thank you party for our family, friends and neighbors. The guest list got a little long...we invited almost 60 people! So for the menu I wanted to do something easy and decided on BBQs (or Sloppy Joes depending on your location :) )

When I make them, I don't use a recipe, I just throw some beef or turkey, onion, celery, ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar together.

I need a legit recipe for this many people. Can you help me out May mamas? I know it doesn't take a rocket scientist to make these but there are so many different recipes out there that I'd like some help! TIA!

    This is my mom's recipe, for sweet n sour sloppy joes (they're really not sour though.) These are the sloppy joes I grew up on and to this day, the only kind I really like. I can NOT do manwich! She throws them in the crock pot for our family's annual pumpkin carving party (double or triple batch.)

    2 lbs ground beef
    2/3 cup ketchup
    1 cup chopped onion
    2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
    4 tbsp brown sugar
    2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
    2 tbsp yellow mustard

    Brown the onions and beef together. Drain if necessary. Add remaining ingredients and heat through.

    Super easy!

    We use pretty much the same recipe as PP (minus the onion & apple cider vinegar).  But we like to put cream of mushroom soup in it.  1 can for every 2 lbs of hamburger.

    2 lb ground turkey or chicken
    1 jar BBQ sauce (12oz)
    Dash of brown sugar, mustard, & ketchup
    1/2 small onion

    Brown the meat with the onions first. Nice thing is you can flavor it to taste depending on the sauce(s) you use.

    It's kinda a mix between sloppy joes and BBQ. ;) Actually I came up with it when I was too lazy to go shopping.
