Snappy Joes

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.
