It seems that almost all of my friends have prepared some sort of a dinner for everyone. Everyone except me. So that’s when I decided it was time I made some sort of a dinner for all of my friends.
But there’s a problem (or two). What can I make? Everyone knows I don’t know how to cook.
What can Americans make? They all assume that all we’ve got in us are hamburgers and french fries. So last night I made something that is not-so-healthy but really delicious and typical American. And to my surprise (and maybe to everyone else’s), it was a complete success. Considering the last thing I made was a complete flop, this awful macaroni and cheese that was thicker than a brick wall. But last night, I made something to everyone’s gusto.
I made Sloppy Joe’s and Pasta Salad. Here’s the recipe for any of you living in Spain looking for an easy recipe.
| 1 pound 1 large 1/8 teaspoon 1/4 teaspoon 1 teaspoon 1 – 8 ounce can 1/2 cup 1/4 cup 4 – 6 |
lean ground turkey onion, chopped ground black pepper salt garlic powder tomato sauce barbecue sauce (bbq) water hamburger buns |
| Stove Temp: medium Recipe Cooking Time: 30 minutes Pan Type: skillet |
Sloppy Joes Recipe Directions
In a medium skillet place the turkey meat and onion.
Sprinkle with ground black pepper, salt, and garlic powder.
Cook until turkey meat is no longer pink in the middle.
Drain off any excess fat.
Reduce heat and add the tomato sauce, barbecue sauce, and water.
Cover and simmer the sloppy joes sauce for 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove cover and simmer the sloppy joes sauce for an additional 10 minutes.
The Sloppy Joe’s sounds (and looks, because googled some pics) sooo tasty. But I wonder where one can find turkey meat, specially in Spain. WTH. And also, is it possible adding some cheese (queso rallado?) or sweet corn OR even some baked beans? xD
Cheers!
