The Meal Plan from week of 6/26/2017
Super simple this week: a combination of leftovers from week previous, sloppy joes and brats. Lunches were sandwiches (the Husband) and hummus sandwiches (Me).
Super Sloppy Joes (Ckng Lght, Nov 2004)
These sloppy joes were really good - I wasn't certain about all the veggies (and there are a lot), but bottom line was, I liked the mix! It was a nice change of pace from the "traditional" meat and onion variety.
A couple of modifications - I used ground pork instead of beef. I used 1 cup tomato sauce and cut back the water by 1/2 cup (I was out of ketchup). I added one tablespoon of tomato paste for a flavor boost. I'm waffling if I liked adding the 'shrooms at the end, or if I would have preferred to have sauted with the rest of the veggies and thus, steaming off some additional liquid. A small thing. I skipped the fennel seeds because I didn't have any.
This made quite a bit. I think we had three suppers for two and one lunch for one out of it. One "joe" each.
