So this recipe was passed along to me by a friend's mother.. so I will name them after her!
Joyce's Sloppy Joes
1 lb lean beef
1 tbsp. fat (Crisco)
1 c. chopped onions
1 c. chopped green pepper
1/2 tsp. sugar
2 tbsp. prepared mustard (I used Heinz yellow)
1 tbsp. vinegar
1 tsp. salt
1 c. ketchup
6-8 rolls
1. Brown the beef in the Crisco.
2. Once cooked, add the remaining ingredients and simmer 30 minutes covered.
*I did not drain the meat once it was browned, it helped add to the sauce. However, this dish is not for those trying to prepare a healthy dinner! The fat does add to the caloric count.. but that's what made it so delicious! I served them with potato rolls and oven roasted asparagus.
*Some alteration ideas- use turkey meat instead of the beef! I'm sure that would be delicious. If you are worried about the Crisco, try it without! That's how recipes are made anyway, trial and error. This is a great dish to prepare for the game on sunday. Utilize mini Hawaiian rolls or mini potato rolls and make sliders! Cheese is a great addition too!
Oven Roasted Asparagus
1 bundle of asparagus
3-4 tbsp. olive oil
Salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
1. Rinse the asparagus.
2. Cut off the thick bottom of the stem.
3. Lay out on a rimmed baking sheet. I patted the asparagus dry once they were on the sheet so they didn't "steam" in the oven.
4. Drizzle generously with the olive oil. Use more if you would like.
5. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Use as much as you like. I love fresh ground black pepper and sea salt, so I was a little generous.
6. Place in oven and roast about 10-12 minutes.
7. Remove from oven and enjoy!

i love asparagus and i have a delicious gorgonzola cream recipe to dip them in to share with u for ur site!!
ReplyDelete1/2 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled (or your favorite Blue)
1/2 cup (4 ounces) cream cheese
2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup half-and-half (just enough to make the mixture “loose”)
1/2 cups dried cranberries (chop in food processor before putting all other ingredients in)
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts, coarsely chopped
(with or without the nuts and/or cranberries, still delish!)
To prepare the Gorgonzola mix; place the Gorgonzola and cream cheese in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade and blend until creamy. Add the half-and-half and blend just until smooth. Add the nuts and cranberries, give it a few more pulses.
Walla! Soooo yummy :)
Sounds delicious! Will definitely be trying that out!!
