Manic Monday Meals ~ Battle of the Sloppy Joe's

The showdown of the Sloppy Joe's. Of course these are always a hit with the boys and my floor since they can't seem to make it all in their mouths!

Our first was a recipe I found on the Duggar Family Website.

1 lb. ground beef/turkey
1/2 c. ketchup
1/2 c. BBQ sauce
1/2 envelope dry onion soup mix
2 tsp. liquid smoke
Brown & season meat, drain. Add all other ingredients, heat
Through. Serve on buns; enjoy!

And the winner of the Sloppy Joe Throwndown (Yes a Nod to Bobby Flay) is from my all time favorite blogger Heidi at Tried and True. You can see I've done tons of her recipes. As I tell her if I'm in a funk I head of do a search and there is dinner :).

Cheesy BBQ Sloppy Joes

1 1/2 lb. lean ground beef
1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup bottled barbecue sauce
1 TBSP Worcestershire sauce
2 TBSP chopped pickled jalapeno peppers (optional)
1 TBSP liquid from pickled jalapeno peppers (optional
1 package frozen garlic Texas toast
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Brown ground beef in large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring often, 8 - 10 minutes or until beef crumbles and is no longer pink; drain well. Return to skillet. Stir in tomatoes, next 3 ingredients, and, if desired, jalapeno pepper and liquid. Cover and cook 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare Texas toast according to package directions. Serve beef mixture over Texas toast; sprinkle with cheese.
