Easy Pumpkin Sloppy Joes

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1/2 cup tomato juice
• 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin
• 8 hamburger buns, split

1. In a large skillet, cook and crumble beef with onion over medium-high heat until no longer pink, 6-8 minutes; drain. Stir in seasonings, ketchup and tomato juice; bring to a boil. Stir in pumpkin. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, to allow flavors to blend, about 15 minutes. Serve on buns.
2. Freeze cooled meat mixture in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally and adding a little broth or water if necessary.
