Sloppy Joes

Day 152

Sloppy Joes again! I posted pretty good directions on how to make Sloppy Joes back in December and January, but we always make them a little differently anyway.

Sloppy Joe on Toasted Bun

Ingredients:

1 package of veggie ground

1 onion, chopped (we also chopped half a red pepper)

1 1/2 tbsp chili powder

1/2 tsp chipotle powder

3 tbsp barbeque sauce

1/2 cup ketchup

1 tbsp sugar

1/2 cup milk

2 tbsp vinegar

1 tbsp flour

*Note: If you don't like a lot of heat in a dish, I suggest you skip the chipotle powder and go with 2 tbsps of chili powder instead.

Directions

Start with an onion. Chop it up.

Sauté it. I did a healthy sauté in just water until it was cooked clear.

Gather the other ingredients: flour, vinegar, BBQ sauce, ketchup, milk, chili powder, chipotle powder, and veggie ground. The recipe also calls for salt and Worchestershire sauce but we didn't miss it.

Measure everything out and add it to the onions, adding the veggie ground last. Cook a minute or two and serve on toasted buns. It's super simple.

Reviews/Comments

Very spicy! Super good. This got rave reviews from Laura, who is usually the one who makes Sloppy Joes around here. Again, she mentioned her Dad, so this is a nostalgic meal for her. Actually, it got a 10 from both of us! :)
