I have already shared with you a recipe for Taco and Chicken Spiedie seasoning. Both of these were purchased from a packet or jar when we live in the U.S. but something we couldn't find here. Tonight I made Sloppy Joes. We have eaten them a few times now. Back in the U.S we bought Hunt's Manwich Sloppy Joe Mix (you guessed it, from a can!!) But without having that as an option now, I found a recipe for Sloppy Joes. It has a sweeter taste to it because of the jelly in the recipe, but you could add more or less depending on your specific taste.
To make Sloppy Joes you will need:
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup condensed tomato soup
1/2 cup ketchup
3 Tablespoons grape jelly
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1 Tablespoon Cider Vinegar (I only had apple cider vinegar and it worked fine)
1 Tablespoon prepared mustard (plain yellow mustard did the trick)
1/2 teaspoon salt (or leave out if you're watching your salt intake)
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
5 hamburger buns
In a large skillet. cook beef and onions over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the soup, ketchup, jelly, brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, salt and celery seed. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered for 10 minutes or until heated through. Serve on buns and ENJOY!!
I have found it to be much tastier, healthy and cheaper to make so many things from scratch. I always have a ton of seasonings and ingredients on hand, so making the recipes below seem to be even easier. Even when we don't live here anymore I will continue to make a lot of the same recipes as I do now.
Here are a few more we have grown to love! Simply click on them to read the recipe or look under the recipe tab on our blog's homepage.
