Hi guys! Sorry it has been awhile since I posted a recipe; we've been kind of busy but I've been trying all kinds of good recipes that I look forward to sharing with y'all. One of the new recipes is this one. It is from the Pioneer Woman Cooks blog, which is a favorite of mine. She does a lot of great, easy to follow recipes with ingredients you usually have in the house. This is one of the best recipes for Sloppy Joes that I've eaten. Hope you enjoy!
Sloppy Joes
2 T. butter
2 1/2 lb. ground beef
1/2 whole onion, diced
1 whole large green bell pepper, diced (I used red and orange since I had those on hand)
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 c. water
2 T. brown sugar
2 t. chili powder (more to taste)
1 t. dry mustard
1/2 t. red pepper flakes (more to taste)
Worcestershire sauce to taste
2 T. tomato paste
tabasco sauce to taste
salt to taste
black pepper to taste
Directions:
Add butter to a large skillet or dutch oven over medium high heat. Add ground beef and cook until brown. Drain most of the fat and discard.
Add onions, peppers and garlic. Cook for a few minutes or until the vegetables begin to get soft.
Add ketchup, brown sugar, chili pepper, dry mustard and water. Stir to combine and simmer for 15 minutes, adding salt and pepper to taste. Also add tomato paste, Worcestershire and Tabasco if desired. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
