I am going to make these tomorrow for a meal during the week with Chris and the kids.  It's just easier to make a lot of meals ahead.  That way I can pop in from work and get dinner ready in just a few minutes.

1lb. lean ground beef
1/4 C. chopped onion
1/4 C. chopped green bell pepper
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. prepared mustard
3/4 C. ketchup
2 tsp. brown sugar
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste

In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, onion and green pepper, drain off liquids.

Stir in the garlic powder, mustard, ketchup, and brown sugar; mix thoroughly.  Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.  Season with salt and pepper.
