Homemade Sloppy Joe's

[Semigourmet]

Serves 4-6



Ingredients

1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 to 1 ½ pounds ground turkey, beef or chicken
1 large onion, diced
1 small to medium green bell pepper, diced
1 tablespoon minced garlic (from a jar)
1 8 ounce can tomato puree
¼ to ½ cup KC Masterpiece barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon brown mustard (I used stone ground)
1/8 cup ketchup
1/8 cup white vinegar
2-4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 to 2 teaspoons sriracha (pronounced seerrachi) (optional)




Directions

1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil, onion and bell pepper. Cook stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes. Add garlic and ground meat and sauté until meat is just done.

2. When meat is done add the remaining ingredients. Cook and stir until heated through.


Notes I like to pulse the veggies up in a mini prep or food processor so that they are a bit smaller. But what ever size you like is best.
