Sloppy Joes
Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon
- 1 lb ground beef extra lean
- 1/2 an onion chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 3/4 cup ketchup make it as light or juicy as you would like
- 1/2 tbsp chili powder adjust to your tastes
- cheddar cheese
- 4 green onions sliced
- Hamburger buns or bread
Instructions
- First, cook your bacon. I like to do it in the oven on a foil-lined baking sheet: 17 minutes at 375 F.
- While the bacon is cooking, cook the onions and ground beef in the same pan on medium heat until beef is browned. I like to spoon off most of the fat rather than dirty more dishes by draining in a colander.
- Make a well in the beef and onion mixture and add the garlic, cooking 30 seconds to 1 minute. Mix together.
- Add the ketchup and chili powder; mix well. Add 4 slices of the bacon (roughly chopped) and mix again.
- Use the additional bacon, cheddar cheese, and green onions as toppings. Bon appetit.
Notes
Then this evening I got an even wilder idea. Scratch the bacon (stay with me), swap out a wrap for the buns, and add avocado and romaine lettuce. Amazing! I can't decide which one I like best, I suppose it depends if you're in the mood for a heavier or lighter meal.
