Sloppy Joes
Ingredients:
1 lb of lean ground beef or turkey-don’t skimp on the meat. Cheap fatty hamburger will give you an inferior outcome. You want the meat very lean.
½ cup chopped red pepper
1 small onion chopped fine-use the food processor
1 8 oz can of tomato sauce
½ cup BBQ sauce of choice-here is my recipe Sweet and Tangy BBQ Sauce
1 cup shredded carrots
6 oz green chili-I use the ones I canned and they are a bit spicier than the ones from the store.
If you don’t have green chili add some tobasco sauce for a little kick.
Brown the meat with the onions first. Add the peppers and the carrots and cook till soft. Add the green chili and cook for a few minutes then mix in the tomato sauce and BBQ sauce. Allow to cook for a few minutes to let the flavors combine. The mixture should be think and round up on a spoon when scooped. If you need to cook it longer and let it reduce then do so.
Serve with hamburger buns or tortillas.
