RACHAEL RAY'S SUPER SCRUMPTIOUS SLOPPY JOES



Rachael Ray's Super Scrumptious Sloppy Joes image

This recipe is from Food Network's Rachael Ray. I like it b/c it uses tomato sauce instead of ketchup, and you can spice it up as you like. I add more onions as well as some garlic. * I like to use a little less brown sugar, as we like ours spicier rather than sweet.

EMERIL'S CHICKEN CHIMICHANGAS



Emeril's Chicken Chimichangas image

by Emeril Lagasse. These are winners. I usually top with canned green enchilada sauce. The whole family loves them.

Provided by jenpalombi

Categories     Chicken

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus 8 cups for frying
1/2 cup diced white onion
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 lbs cooked chicken breasts, shredded while warm
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 (4 1/2 ounce) can chopped green chilies, drained
8 (10 inch) flour tortillas, warmed
1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add onions and saute until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, chili powder, oregano, and cumin and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the shredded chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the green chiles. Cook mixture for about 5 minutes, or until heated through. Set aside and cool slightly.
  • One at a time, place the tortillas on a work surface, keeping the remaining tortillas covered with a damp towel. (For pliable tortillas, sprinkle lightly with 1/4 teaspoon water and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave for 10 to 20 seconds just before ready to stuff, and keep covered until ready to roll.) Spread 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture in a rectangle in the center of the tortilla. Sprinkle with 1 to 2 tablespoons of cheese. Fold the bottom of the tortilla over the filling and then fold the sides over. Fold the top of the tortilla over the folded sides and secure the sides with wooden toothpicks. Place folded side down.
  • Heat the remaining vegetable oil in a deep stockpot or deep fryer to 360 degrees F. Using tongs, lower the chimichangas folded side down, 1 at a time into the hot oil. (It is helpful to hold the chimichanga with the tongs until it has "sealed" together.) Cook until golden brown on all sides, about 3 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and continue with remaining chimichangas.
  • Remove toothpicks from the chimichangas and serve immediately with pre-made enchilada sauce or salsa drizzled over top and a sprinkling of cheese.

1/4 cup minced red sweet bell pepper
2 tablespoons minced celery
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups canned tomato puree
2 rounded tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup prepared ketchup
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/4 cup molasses
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped cleaned mushrooms
8 or 9 fresh plum tomatoes, skinned, seeded and coarsely chopped to measure 1 1/2 (packed) cups
1 teaspoon crumbled dried aromatic oregano
1 teaspoon Bovril
Freshly ground black pepper
2 generous pounds freshly ground beef
Additional freshly ground black pepper
Hamburger Buns (recipe follows)

Steps:

  • To prepare the sauce: Heat a 2 1/2-quart saucepan over medium heat and when hot, add 3 tablespoons oil. When oil is hot, stir in minced onion, green and red pepper, celery and garlic. Cook over medium-low heat until vegetables are softened and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in tomato puree, tomato paste, ketchup, vinegar, molasses and Worcestershire sauce. Bring mixture to a simmer and turn heat down to very low. Simmer sauce with the cover ajar for 1 hour. Meanwhile, heat an 8-inch skillet over high heat and when hot, add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil. When oil is hot, add chopped mushrooms and cook mushrooms, stirring over high-heat until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn heat off and set skillet aside. After sauce has been simmering for 1 hour, uncover and add Sauteed chopped mushrooms, prepared fresh tomatoes, oregano, Bovril seasoning and some freshly ground black pepper. Bring back to a simmer and cook with the cover ajar for 30 minutes more. Uncover and let cool until needed.
  • Note: If you plan on cooking right away, just measure out 2 cups of the sauce, and let the remaining sauce cool. Freeze for the next time.
  • To add browned ground meat: Heat a 10-inch deep-sided skillet over medium heat and, when hot, add the ground meat and break up with a wooden spoon. Cook meat until separate and golden brown, then remove from the stove and drain out any excess fat from skillet. Return pan to stove and stir in 2 generous cups of prepared sauce to meat. Bring mixture to a gentle simmer over low heat and cook (uncovered) until flavors mingle and the mixture is piping hot throughout, about 10 minutes. Add some more freshly ground black pepper to taste and
  • Note: If serving 4, brown 1 pound of ground meat and add 1 generous cup of sauce.
  • To assemble Sloppy Joe's and serve: Spoon ground beef mixture onto split hamburger buns that have been spread lightly with butter and broiled to toast the buttered side only. Serve hot.
  • Variation Tips:
  • This Sloppy Joe mixture is not only great on buns, but it's also fabulous over hot (lightly buttered) pasta. Toss in some cooked peas (fresh or frozen) and you've got yourself a hearty and delicious meal. Alternatively, stir this into a bowl of cooked long grain white rice, for a change of texture.
  • And don't throw out any leftovers...heat it up the next night and spoon it onto baked potatoes. Eat (as is) or if desired, sprinkle the top lightly with grated cheddar cheese and broil until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Now, add a simple green tossed in a light vinaigrette and you've got yourself yet another easy and delicious meal!

SLOPPY JOES



Sloppy Joes image

Fresh cilantro, pickled jalapeños, and sliced avocado give Sloppy Joes a Southwestern accent. But not to worry, we offer up an iteration that's still kid-friendly.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes     Ground Beef Recipes

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 pounds ground beef chuck
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 can tomato puree (14.5 ounces)
2 tablespoons light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
4 hamburger rolls, cut into mini buns
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped pickled jalapeno chiles
2 hoagie rolls, split in half
1/2 ripe avocado, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • For the Kids (Serves 2): In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook beef, breaking apart pieces with a wooden spoon, until lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring, until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add pureed tomatoes, sugar, vinegar, tomato paste, Worcestershire, and 1 1/2 cups water. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until thickened, about 20 minutes. Reserve half the beef mixture for the adults. Divide remaining beef evenly among the mini buns (2 per serving).
  • For the Adults (Serves 2): Stir cilantro and jalapenos into the reserved beef mixture. Dividing evenly, spoon over bottom halves of rolls; top with avocado slices.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your sloppy joes.
  • Brown the ground beef well. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from being greasy.
  • Don't overcook the meat. Overcooked meat will be tough and dry.
  • Use a variety of spices and seasonings. This will give your sloppy joes a complex flavor.
  • Let the sloppy joes simmer for a while. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the sloppy joes on toasted buns. This will help to keep the sandwiches from getting soggy.
  • Top the sloppy joes with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include cheese, onions, pickles, and tomatoes.
