Tonight I made the first of my recipes from my Cooking Light Cookbook. I made Super Sloppy Joe Sandwiches. I thought they were delicious! I made them for my RA staff. I don't think they were quite as impressed as I was...likely because the sandwiches were full of veggies and this group tends to turn their nose up at things like mushrooms and peppers. I often cook to their taste buds, but sometimes I like to make what I think is yummy...tonight was one of those times! :)
Here's the recipe. I have recorded it here with the tweaks that I made to the recipe.
Super Sloppy Joe Sandwiches
1 lb ground round
1 lb ground turkey breast
1 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
1 1/4 cup diced celery
1 cup diced onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz mushrooms - chopped
1 cup water
1 cup ketchup
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp paprika
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp fennel seeds
1/4 hot pepper sauce
8 - 12 hamburger buns
-Heat a large skillet over med-high heat.
-Cook ground beef and ground turkey until no longer pink - crumbling to desired consistency
-Add bell peppers, celery, onion, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook 7 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
-Stir in remaining ingredients (minus buns) . Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 - 25 minutes or until sauce begins to thicken.
-Serve on buns. makes 8-12 sloppy joes, depending on how much meat you like on your sandwiches.
Enjoy! :)
1 down and 51 to go!

Hmmmm... so if we stick with you these 52 recipes--we won't have to buy the book? :)P It's similar to my recipe, but my crowd (including me) sticks their noses up at mushrooms and green peppers as well.
