This delicious potato salad recipe has been tested and approved in Kathy’s kitchen. And the sloppy joes—or juicy burgers as I learned to call them growing up—sound like a winner to me.
From my friend, author Mary Lou Cheatham
Sloppy Joes
2 pounds lean beef such as ground round
1/3 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 15 ounce can tomato sauce
1 package (dry powder) sloppy joe mix (store brand?)
1/3 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 cup Louisiana hot sauce
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 to 1 teaspoon barbecue seasoning (I used McCormick's
Grill Masters.)
Brown the meat, pepper, and onion. Drain the grease. Add the
other ingredients and let it simmer.
Serve on hamburger buns. Toast them if you like.
From my friend Nina:
I heard of a recipe that I want to try- a former Amish woman suggested it on her blog. Ranch potato salad. A few pounds of baked potatoes, peeled, cooled and diced. A cup of chopped celery. A half cup of cooked and crumbled bacon. And enough ranch dressing to make the salad moist but not gloppy. It doesn’t sound healthy but it does sound good!
Comfort food a la mode! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed.:) Thank you, Suzanne.
DeleteLove Sloppy Joe. My recipe is super simple: 1# lean ground beef (browned), 1/2 medium onion (chopped and sauteed) , 1 small can tomato paste, 1 canful of ketchup (use the empty t. paste can), 1 Tbsp. brown sugar, salt and pepper to taste. Mix and cook for at least 15 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally. You can also add sauteed chopped green peppers for variation. Serve on a hamburger bun.
ReplyDeleteI use left over for what I call American Spaghetti, with angel hair.
Oh, Sharon that spaghetti with angel hair sounds great.:)
DeleteThe sloppy Joes sound amazing!!! My problem is that I haven't had ice cream in nearly two months and I'm craving it sooo much!!! I had some yogurt but not the same!!! I'll take whatever suggestions but must avoid what I want!!!! :( (Erma)
