Tonight, we enjoyed a quick meal of sloppy joes and potato chips - I know … it's a junk food meal, but it is junk food that tastes good: and I did add healthy ingredients to the sauce 😉
I prefer making my own sloppy joe sauce recipe; but my husband likes Manwich, so that's how things went down tonight 🕊️
As you will see when reading through my recipe, I deviated quite a bit from the standard sloppy joe recipe. And we think the addition of the exotic chinese pepper spice, was also a good choice in vamping what would have normally been a plain jane sandwich 👌😁
Val's Upgraded Sloppy Joes Recipe ~serves 8
1 can Manwich Sloppy Joe Sauce * 1-lb ground beef * 1 small Onion, sliced * 1/2 medium Zucchini, shredded * 1 small, red, Sweet Pointed Pepper, shredded * 1/8 c Mushrooms, chopped * 1/2 tsp. ground Szechuan Pepper * Lettuce, thinly sliced * 1 c Cheddar Cheese, shredded * Onion Buns * 1 lrg. Skillet
1) Thaw the ground beef, & prepare veggies ahead of time; refrigerate both.
2) Brown the meat - when cooked through, add the veggies: mix together, and cook on low heat for 15 minutes - or until veggies are soft.
3) Add sauce and continue cooking another 15 minutes.
4) Turn burner off; prepare as shown … serve, and enjoy 👍
