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

OMG, I made this last night and I have to say during the cooking I was a little skeptical. It seemed like it took a long time for the flavors to really permeate the rice and meat, but when it did, WOW!
My husband and daughter were so pleased with the end result that I’m going to make this at least once every two weeks. Thanks for another great comfort food for us celiacs:)
Hi, Terri,
I understand your skepticism, but I’m glad you pushed through it! I’m glad you have something new to add to your repertoire. Every little bit helps!
Warmly,
Nicole
