Sloppy Joe

Poor Shy Sloppy Joe

I couldn’t bring myself to show you my Sloppy Joe.  It looks like dog food.

But it is delicious, so I would like to share with you the recipe.  It is definitely a “Ratio” sort of recipe, and it is inexpensive and produces at least 6 servings.  I have never set it down in words before, so wish me luck.  Here goes nothin’.

Sloppy Joe
INGREDIENTS:
2 medium yellow onions, chopped
2 tBsp cooking oil (I use canola)
Kosher salt & fresh ground pepper to taste
1 pound ground beef
2-3 cups tomato sauce
2-3 cups stock (I use homemade because I’m, um, thrifty)
2-3 cups cooked brown rice (Trust Me)
2/3 cup brown sugar (Really)
3-4 tBsp Worcestershire Sauce

COOK LIKE THIS:
Sautee onions in oil in large pot until onions are translucent (6-7 minutes).
Add ground beef to pan and cook until browned (5-6 minutes).  Salt & pepper it to taste.

Add the rest of the ingredients (tomato sauce, stock, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and brown rice) to the pot and cook to reduce.   You want it to be thick.  It will thicken more as it cools.

You can serve this on Gluten Free rolls, or you can simply eat it by the spoonful.  I am a neatnik, so I usually just put it in bowls and arm everyone with a spoon.  Every once in a while, I serve it over gluten free spaghetti & tomato sauce.  That’s delicious, too.  It is filling & my kids CHEER for it.  Hooray! 

Warmly,
Nicole
