Our home likes and enjoys Sloppy Joe's. In fact, this is the 5th Sloppy Joe blog I have written: Easy and Delicious Sloppy Joe's Quick and Easy Sloppy Joe's Easy Sloppy Joe's with a Secret Ingredient Ground Turkey Sloppy Joe's A real quick update on my health before diving into the recipe - I'm officially at week 7 for my cough. I saw the doctor 13 days ago and then again 6 days ago. My antibiotics are out and I'm on the last few days of my cough medication/pills that I'm taking 3x per day. My cough seems to have been getting worse the past 3 days or so. I got blood word yesterday, the focus was thyroid and white blood cell count but when I was confirming with the lady who was drawing my blood, she said, "we are checking you for a lot of things" and took 4 vials of blood. I'm still waiting on those results. My energy is better, I have been doing errands and going out and staying active as much as I can. I haven't been napping or anythin

This Sloppy Joe recipe was supposed to be made a few nights ago...but we made tacos instead! So, we had them tonight. We made a lot of substitutions - and I actually made these while talking on the phone to my sister so I didn't take very many pics! Pretty good, super easy. We didn't add the onion or bell pepper. I used Tomato Paste, Water and Marinara Sauce as a substitute for Tomato Sauce. Very easy if you are looking for a simple recipe to conquer the quarantine. The original recipe was found HERE . Ingredients: 1 Tbsp olive oil 1 pound ground beef Salt and Pepper, to taste 1 tbsp garlic powder 1 Tbsp onion powder 1 12oz can of tomato paste 1/2 cup water 1/4 cup marinara/spaghetti sauce 1/4 cup ketchup 1 Tbsp worcestershire 4 hamburger buns Directions: Add the olive oil to pan over medium high heat. Add the beef and break up into small pieces until there is no pink.  Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder and mix. Stir in the tomato paste, water

Whenever I think of Sloppy Joe's I think of my childhood. I can't remember if it was church camp where we had them or just a part of our weekly family dinners at home (or maybe both) but they bring back a lot of great memories. Kevin sent me a recipe on Friday and *thankfully* I had all of the ingredients already at home except the meat. This recipe was actually shorter than what it said and the Sloppy Joe's turned out really really good. In fact, in the original recipe HERE , some of the comments stated that this was the best Sloppy Joe recipe they have made :) We added a few extra spices in it so feel free to customize to your liking :) Ingredients: 1 pound ground beef 1 cup ketchup 1/4 cup water 2 tablespoons brown sugar 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 2 teaspoons mustard 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons chili powder 1 tablespoon paprika 4 hamburger buns Directions: In a large saucepan, cook bee
