Some week nights I am scratching my head at what to make for dinner. I want something nutritious, delicious, quick and with a fairly easy cleanup. Sloppy joes are my quick and easy go to meal. They satisfy a children and adults of all ages. I like to serve mine with coleslaw and macaroni and cheese for the ultimate American style meal.
Sloppy Joes
Serves 4
Olive oil
1 medium onion chopped finely
1 garlic clove run through a press
1 teaspoon of chili powder
1 pound of ground beef or turkey
1 teaspoon of brown sugar
1 cup of tomato sauce
1/2 cup of ketchup
splash of water, if needed
salt and pepper
Tabasco sauce to taste
Brown onion and a pinch of salt in a bit of oil in a large saute pan. Cook until lightly browned about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and chili powder and cook until fragrant. Add the ground beef, brown sugar, and some salt and pepper and cook until meat is browned, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, and water. Cook until slightly thickened. Season with Tabasco and salt and pepper.
Serve on rolls.

I was hoping to try with ground chicken or turkey this summer.
