Fire Roasted Sloppy Joes and Menu Plan

Last week, I realized I hadn't made Sloppy Joes in a while. I was going to be out late, so I needed something I could cook up for my boys that was easy for them to heat up and have for dinner. I also wanted something that I might be able to pull out for lunch later in the week. While my family and I love the traditional sloppy joes, this time, I decided to be a little creative this time and give them an extra zing! This was delicious. I served them on brioche rolls.

Fire Roasted Sloppy Joes
1 lb ground beef or turkey
1 28 oz can fire roasted tomatoes
1 6 oz can tomato paste (I use Muir Glen Organic for both)
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 yellow onion, diced
2 cloved garlic, crushed
2 tsp sugar

Hamburger buns


Brown turkey or beef in sauce pan. Drain meat. Add tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir until tomato paste dissolves. Add vinegar, worcestershire sauce, onion and garlic and cook for 10 minutes until flavors combine. Taste. Add sugar as necessary to balance flavor. Allow to simmer on low for 20-30 minutes more. Serve on top of hamburger buns.

This week, I'm doing some family favorites and easy summer recipes.
