She's so...normal. And that's why she's been so successful. She's a normal mom that makes really good food for her really large family. And she lives on the largest cattle ranch in Oklahoma.
It was so fun to see her in person! She didn't make these sloppy joes on Saturday but she did make her Pots de Creme (which I will be trying in the near future!).
But these sloppy joes were on my mind since I just saw her on Saturday. And this is basically her recipe, so I thought I'd share it with you.
Just brown some ground beef (sometimes I use half ground turkey, half ground chuck) with onions and green pepper (I used bell peppers from my dad's garden), add a whole bunch of spices and ketsup and let it simmer.
And by all means, serve it on slider buns with yellow mustard and pickles. And if you're my kid, you get cantaloupe and green beans to go with it.
Deliciously yummy. Here ya go.
Sloppy Joes (PW Style)
Adapted from Pioneer Woman
2 lbs ground chuck (can also use 1/2 ground turkey and half ground chuck)
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups ketsup
2 T tomato paste
1 cup water
2 T Worcestershire sauce
2 T brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
A few dashes of hot sauce (I go easy so my kids will eat it!)
1 T dijon mustard
1 T chili powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Add the chuck, onion and bell pepper to a large pan and cook, stirring it to break up the beef. Drain the fat. Add the garlic and remaining ingredients and simmer for about 20 minutes. Serve on buns. This freezes really well and the leftovers are even better the second time around.
