My kiddies are getting older, and (inevitably, I suppose) they've gotten involved in sports. Weeknight games are the bane of my meal-planning existence. I've been lucky enough to stumble across some great recipes that save us from bologna sandwiches or drive-thru atrocities. This is one I found on MomAdvice.com Amy's recipe is made with ground chuck, but I've been using black beans. The boys love it, and I can make it early and keep it in the crock pot if I need to. It's great with pretzels and finger veggies!
Sloppy Joes
6 c. (or 4 cans) cooked black beans**
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 c. ketchup
2 tsp. mustard
2 tbsp. brown sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
Cook green pepper and onion in 1 tbsp. oil until soft. Add all other ingredients, stir well, and let simmer until heated through and sauce is homogeneous...about 30 minutes. Serve on buns, bread, in pita pockets, or with corn chips. **If using ground chuck, brown 2lbs., drain, then add veggies and cook until soft. Proceed as directed.
