Sloppy Joes

[debbie-doodles]

I need a new sloppy joe recipe. I used to make them with tomato soup and salsa then topped with cheese on buns. Now what do I use instead of the soup? And what do you use instead of the bun? someone else suggested corn tortillas and I liked that idea, but wondered what everyone else did. Thanks!

I use Manwhich in a can. Mostly because I was to lazy to ever make it from scratch. I usually use a gluten-free hamburger bun or I also like to put it over rice. Although now that I think about it I am not sure if Manwhich is gluten-free. A quick check in my gluten-free book did not help. It looks like I will be needing a new recipe!

We use manwich as well. I put it on top of Kinnikinnick pizza crusts for my kids and they call them "sloppy pizzas". they like them a lot.

This is what I did in a pinch...

good ground beef ( I get Laura's 93% Lean but that might be local only)

Hienz Ketchup

chopped onions

Kogleman Smoke Flavor.

Then make like any other slopy joe.

For buns could use any combination of:

gluten-free Buns

gluten-free Bread

gluten-free Beagles

Rice

Nacho Chips

Salad Greens

Or anything you have laying around. I acutlly perfer to eat it without bread of any kind...

I also like to put cheese in mine, but thats just me.

I should add that I DO add cheese just like a pizza. I make the manwich with chopped meat, put it on the kinnikinnick crust, sprinkle on Mozzerella and bake till golden.

Here's a great sloppy joe recipe. I think anyhow... my old roomates liked it too. Said it was the best they had ever eaten! But then I think they grew up with Manwich sloppy joes, which is mighty gross if if you ask me....

anyways

1 lb ground beef(I use 93 percent lean)

1.5 tsp lemon juice

2 tsp vinegar

1.5 T water

2/3 cup ketchup

1 T brown sugar

1 T dehyed onions

1 tsp dry mustard

1 tsp salt

1/8 tsp pepper

Add all ingredients to browned hambuger. Then let simmer for 15-20 minutes over low heat. Add a little more water while simmering if it gets really dry.

Note, I tried altering this recipe a few times, used a little bit of fresh onion or changed something else, and it never tastes as good. This one is dang good I think as is. Let me know if anyone tries it/likes it.

Okay, I'm a big dork, but where do you get dehydrated onions and dry mustard??

Oh, dehyed onions, I'm calling them that back from my McD days. Usually in the store they list them as Minced Onions, they are in the spice area.

Dry Mustard, spice area too. I always get the Spice Islands brands.

The mustard and the minced onions are on the Durkee/Tone's/Spice Islands Gluten free list too. They emailed me a copy of it awhile back.

I think I posted this somewhere else, but it's so yummy I'll post it here too!

For the meat (we use ground turkey), mix with Manwich (yep, it's gluten-free). Put this on top of corn tortillas with a sprinkle of cheese and the following salad mixture:

Shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, mayo or miracle whip, dash of salt and Mrs. Dash - Mix all this up so that it's creamy - think coleslaw-like.

I know this sounds a little strange, but it's amazing!!

(Now I'm craving this!!! )

I use Manwich, I did confirm gluten-free status... and I use Kinnikinick sandwich bread or Kinnikinick hamburger buns... we love it around here.

If you want to use Tomato soup and salsa, Amy's makes a creamy tomato soup that is gluten-free, and Pace Picante Sauce, or Green Mountain Gringo Salsa are the best gluten-free salsas...
