I made Sloppy Joes the other night for dinner and I didn't use a can of processed anything to make it!
Ok, so this picture is from the last time in May I made my own sauce for Sloppy Joes. Humor me a minute willya? lol
I tried a different sauce recipe and we like this one even better. It's got more of a 'bite' to it(but not spicy)due in part to the vinegar it calls for.
I found a recipe online and adapted it to our tastes.
Ok, so it was a little more complicated than ripping open a packet of pre-blended flavorings/spices full of salt or opening a can of premade sauce from the grocery store full of HFCS.....but not by much!
Here is my recipe for Sloppy Joes with homemade Sauce
* Brown 1.5-2 lbs. of ground beef/chicken/turkey/pork or any combination thereof.
* Add 1 med. chopped onion and 1/2 a bell pepper to the pan.(I used a 1/4 of a red and a yellow pepper instead.)
* When all veggies are soft, drain the grease from the pan.
* Add to the meat mixture the following ingredients and stir until mixed--
* 3 TB Vinegar
* 3 TB Brown Sugar
* 2 TB Prepared Mustard
* 1/2 tsp Garlic(minced or powdered)
* 1 tsp Chili Powder
* 1 TB Worcestershire Sauce
* 1 3 oz. can of Tomato Paste
* 3/4 can of Water(fill the now empty tomato paste can)
* Let simmer for 5 minutes and serve on rolls and with side dishes of your choice.
Mmm, Mmm, Good!
