Best Sloppy Joes

My mom sent me this recipe and said it was the best Sloppy Joes she has ever had.  The person that gave her the recipe took it to a church function which is where my mom tried it and said it was definitely worth trying.  So... These are on my menu this week.  I will let you know what I think about them.

2 lbs. lean ground beef
1 T olive oil
1 large onion finely chopped
1 green or red bell pepper finely chopped
2 garlic cloves pressed
1 small can tomato paste
1 can Chicken Gumbo Soup adding one can water
1/2 cup ketchup
1 T. prepared mustard
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 T. worchestershire sauce
splash red wine vinegar
seasoning to taste (San Francisco's Chili Mix, garlic and onion powder, ground pepper and Lawry salt.

In a large skillet over medium high heat, add oil and meat to pan and begin to break it up. When almost browned, add seasonings and brown sugar. When browned, add vegetables and reduce heat to medium adding the Worchestershire sauce, vinegar, ketchup and cook for 5 minutes.
Add tomato paste, soup and water - stir to combine. Reduce heat to low, simmer and cook mixture for 30 minutes longer or until desired consistency.
