R's Savory Sloppy Joes

I thought I'd post my sloppy joe recipe, since I haven't yet. It's not something I fix a lot, just when we have a taste for it.
I don't like the store bought, sweet sloppy joe or ketchup based sauces. Most people seem to & that's fine, but I do not. So, I came up with my own.

1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef (or whatever you like)
1/2 onion & green bell pepper, diced (optional)
1 can tomato sauce, low/no sodium
2 tablespoons wooshy sauce or A1 (whatever you have on hand)
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon or less hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon each salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder (can also add garlic Season All or Steak Seasoning if you like)
Essence or Red Pepper Flakes to taste (if you like it a bit spicy)
Hamburger Rolls

Cook ground beef (& veggies if you like) until well browned, stirring often to separate the meat. Drain off any grease.
Stir in remaining ingredients & cook until mixture is hot & bubbling. Serve on rolls.
Yum-O!

*Can substitute red wine vinegar for wooshy/A1 if you don't have either of those.

*Can adjust amounts to feed your family.

*Can cook meat as directed, then add everything to crock pot & cook on low all day

*Total carb guess around 9-10g per serving + roll.
