Рецепт Not So Sweet, Sloppy Joe!
Tradition here in our family is a huge dinner for Christmas Eve ~ and Christmas Day is all about sloppy joes!
I’ve tried a plethora of sloppy joe recipes with just not quite the right mix of ingredients, usually all a little more sweet than to our liking.
I happened to have a bottle of "78 Red Spicy Ketchup" in the refrigerator and used it instead of the Heinz ketchup I generally use.
I make a lot and use the electric skillet: 3 pounds of ground beef, 2 pounds of 85% and 1 pound of 95%. It’s way to dry using only 90% or 95% ground beef.
After the meat browned and onion and bell pepper cooked, 78 Red Spicy Ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, a little chili powder, salt, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, a very small amount of brown sugar, and a dab of tomato paste for thickening, were simmered until thickened.
A perfect blend of ingredients for us! We all thought they were the absolute best sloppy joes we’ve had, good and tasty and not overly-sweet.
Woo hoo, this is it!!!
The leftover meat was oh, so good for lunch the next day...
SLOPPY JOES, THE BEST!
