This What's for Dinner Wednesday, we're having one of Mr. Poe's favorite (non-Mexican) dishes...Sloppy Joe's.
Ingredients:1/4 pound of ground beef, 1/2 bell pepper, 1/8 onion, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/8 cup mustard, salt and pepper to taste, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon chili powder.
Finely dice veggies and place in a medium saucepan with the ground beef. Cook over med-high heat until the veggies are tender and the meat is fully cooked (about 15 minutes):
Add remaining ingredients, and simmer over med-low heat to combine the flavors and to call your husband in from playing basketball (5-10 minutes).
Serve on a bun and enjoy!
It's another What's for Dinner Wednesday, and tonight I'll actually be sharing a main course recipe for two- old school sliders. Technically, we prepare regular sized hamburgers this way too, but mini-burgers are cuter. The breadcrumbs and Worcestershire make for a super moist and delicious burger, no matter the size!
Ingredients: 1/2 pound lean ground beef, 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs, small buns or rolls (not pictured), your favorite burger toppings (not pictured).
In a small bowl, combine the beef, Worcestershire sauce, and breadcrumbs with your hands. After the mixture is thoroughly combined, divide in fourths, forming a small bun-shaped patty out of each fourth. Place the patties on a hot grill (or electric grill or grill pan if you're cooking inside):
Cook the burgers to your desired doneness (15-20 minutes till well-done on a grill pan, depending on patty shape and pan temp), flipping once about half-way through the cooking time. Place on the buns (we love potato rolls) and top with your favorite flavors (we like mustard, ketchup, dill pickles, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and cheese; the Lukes love BBQ sauce, ranch, bacon, cheese, lettuce, and tomato). Bon Appetit!!
