Sloppy Joes more Super than Rachel Ray's

Here is my improvement upon the slightly bland Rachel Ray recipe. It is a great way to stretch ground beef.

Ingredients:
1 tbs extra virgin olive oil for the pan (or butter)
1 1/4 pounds of ground beef
3 cloves of squeezed garlic
1 tbs brown sugar (or to taste)
2 tsp - 1 tbs steak seasoning (Montreal Steak Seasoning)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 tbs red wine vinegar
1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
2 cups canned crushed tomatoes
2 tbs tomato paste
splash of red wine
toasted and buttered rolls/buns

Heat and oil/butter a large skillet over medium high heat. Add meat to the pan. Once the meat is broken up, add crushed garlic, brown sugar, and steak seasoning. When the meat has browned, add the onion, green bell pepper, red wine vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook on reduced heat for 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce and paste. Reduce to simmer and cook for another 5 minutes (or longer).
