Salsa Sloppy Joes

I ended up liking these way more than I ever thought I would.  They were probably the easiest sloppy joe I have ever made.  I loved that besides salt and pepper, I didn't have to add any spices or chop up any onions or peppers, because, thanks to the salsa, it is already in there.  

I used my favorite, go-to, Homemade Salsa that I had already made to use in another dish and I added that to the hamburger along with a little brown sugar and canned tomato soup.  Don't let the canned tomato soup scare you away.  It doesn't end up tasting like you added tomato soup, it just adds a little tomato flavor that all sloppy joes have and it helps it be thick and saucy.  I served these with a side of Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries and I loved it all.  If your family enjoys sloppy joes - I bet they will love this version! Try it.
