Loaded Sloppy Joes                           6 servings                  

This recipe will become a mainstay once your family tastes it.  I serve it over split, toasted buns.  It is very satisfying when served with chips and pickles on a cold rainy day.

​Loaded Sloppy Joes                   4 servings

​

Ingredients

•  ¼ cup onions, ½-inch dice

•  ½ cup green peppers, ½-inch dice

•  ½ lb ground beef

•  1 cup diced cooked potatoes, ½-inch dice

​

•  1-14.5 oz can diced tomatoes or 1-15 oz can tomato sauce

•  ¾ cup mushrooms, canned (drained) or fresh, diced (optional)

•  ¼ tsp paprika

•  ¼ tsp chili powder

•  1 tsp yellow mustard

•  1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)

•  1 tsp brown sugar

•  ¼ tsp black pepper

•  ¾ tsp sea salt

​

Instructions

1.  On medium heat, sauté the beef for about 5 minutes; add the onion, green        pepper and  potatoes; sauté until the meat is browned (about 5 minutes);          drain well on paper towels.

2.  Return beef and vegetables to the pan.  Add the remaining ingredients to           the beef mixture; cover; cook over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes.

3.  Remove the lid and continue cooking until the mixture is the consistency*        you want.  Usually just cooking until the excess moisture is gone does the            trick.

​

* If you need to thicken the liquid, add 2 tsp cornstarch to 1 Tbsp water and stir; add to mixture and stir.
