Sloppy Joe Recipe
This trusty sloppy joe recipe has the perfect blend of sauce and spices (and the secret ingredient...Dr. Pepper) to make tasty, hearty sandwiches.

Sloppy joes aren't just kid favorites, they're the type of meal that everyone runs to the table for. Serve with tater tots, baked potatoes, or french fries for an easy but filling meal.


Ingredients:
1/2 pound lean ground beef
1/2 pound lean ground turkey
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
2 teaspoons flour
3/4 cup Dr. Pepper (or regular cola)
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard
1 Tablespoon white vinegar
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions:
1. Mix ground turkey and ground beef together in a large bowl.
2. In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown the meat with the onion and green pepper. Drain.
3. In large bowl, mix all other ingredients well. Pour over hamburger meat in skillet.
4. Simmer on low for 15-20 minutes or until sauce is thickened. Serve on hamburger buns.

Hello

Hello any one home? Where is the mediator of this blog, I am hungry.;)

Chicken Nacho's

Make as much or little as you want!

Spread tortilla chips on a baking pan
mix together cream cheese and jalapeno peppers (I used 4 oz and had about half a cookie sheet full of chips. Then I added about 2 TBS canned jalapenos-use more or less for your tastes) I warmed this up and put in a ziploc bag. Then I cut a hole in the corner and drizzled it all over.
Top with cooked, shredded chicken
chopped olives and diced tomatoes
Enchilada Sauce (I really like Rosarita's red sauce)
Sprinkle with grated cheese
Put in the oven on broil and cook till cheese is melted. Top with avocado and enjoy!
