Food Fun: Homemade Sloppy Jo
Having lots of sauce-type tomatoes, I decided to make some sloppy jo mix. Yum!
Recipe:
For 3 pounds of ground meat (go for at least 80% lean)
8 oz. onion, fine chop
3 garlic cloves, minced
6 oz. celery, fine chop
2 T Veg oil (I use Canola oil)
8 oz tomato concasse' (peeled, de-seeded and chopped)
4-6 oz bell peppers, fine chop
1 pint beef stock
1 pint tomato ketchup (I used my own vintage-style ketchup)
2 T Worchestershire sauce
2 t dry mustard
Salt, Pepper, Paprika, Ancho and Cayenne to taste.
1) Heat oil in heavy saucepan. Sweat onions and celery for 5 min. Add garlic and sweat for 2 more minutes
2) Add ground beef and cook thoroughly until no pink remains. Drain off any excess grease.
3) Add Worcestershire sauce and mustard, stir. Add tomatoes, peppers, ketchup and stock and cook ~30 minutes. Mix should thicken up.
4) Taste; add salt, pepper, ancho, cayenne to taste.
5) Enjoy!

I have several varieties of tomatoes I grow... this year the Black Krims didn't sprout, but the Health Kick Romas did pretty well, the Susanna is still popping out some pink cherry tomatoes and the yellow pear is trying to become an arbor in the front yard, but those aren't so good for sauce as they are for bruschetta... or just snacking off the vine.
