Quick & Easy Sloppy Joes

My dad came up with this recipe one time.  My mom was somewhere doing something and Daddy had to make dinner.  He browned hamburger then started dumping things into the pan.  He used home canned tomatoes and home canned green beans, which made his version amazing.  I’ve not enjoyed Sloppy Joes without the green veggie since.
