SMOKY WHITE BEAN AND BEEF SLOPPY JOES
This update on the kid-friendly classic uses half the meat as a traditional sloppy Joe recipe, but retains the qualities that everyone loves: a tart-sweet savoriness and a quick cooking time. You can substitute ground pork, turkey, lamb or plant-based ground meat for the beef; the key is to use a protein that's not too lean. A little fat helps carry the flavor of the meat through the entire dish. (If you use plant-based meat or you only have lean meat on hand, add another tablespoon of olive oil or your preferred fat.) The addition of adobo sauce from a can of chipotles imparts smoke, with just a hint of heat. (If you'd like a spicier version, by all means, chop up one or two of the chipotles and add them.) The leftover chipotles keep for at least two weeks in the fridge or indefinitely in the freezer, and they are a welcome addition to many dishes, like chicken tacos or chili.

Steps:
- Warm the oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over high heat. Add the onion, season with 1 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the bell pepper, then spread out the vegetable mixture and let it cook undisturbed for about 1 minute. Stir well and repeat, letting the vegetables cook undisturbed for another minute or so at a time. You want the onions and peppers to get softened, seared and browned in spots, about 5 minutes total.
- Push the vegetables to the sides of the pan, making an empty spot in the middle of the pan, and add the ground beef. Season the beef with a pinch of salt, and smash it flat with a spatula, letting it cook undisturbed for 1 minute until brown underneath. Break up the beef with the spatula and cook 1 to 2 more minutes, until completely browned with no visible pink spots.
- Combine the vegetables and beef, then add the sugar and tomato paste, and cook for 1 minute to toast the tomato paste. Add the garlic powder and cumin, then the tomato purée, adobo sauce and vinegar. Stir in the beans. Reduce the heat to medium and let simmer to thicken slightly, about 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toast the buns.
- With a fork, roughly smash some of the beans to thicken the mixture. Taste and add more salt if necessary. Serve on toasted buns, topped with tomatoes and pickles.

SMOKEY JOES
Sloppy Joes with a hint of chipotle. I made these last night for supper and they were gobbled down so quickly. The original version (a recent Cooking light recipe) called a can of beans and half the meat, but my family prefers it this way. Also, I had to improvise by using Mrs Dash Chipotle blend, which actually worked out very well and I have a new favorite seasoning blend. (The original version called for 1/8 tsp. plain chipotle powder.) The recipe as stated is not very spicy to my tastebuds, so feel free to adjust the heat by adding more chipotle blend and serving hot sauce on the side.

Steps:
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat (adding a spray of cooking spray or a drop of olive oil if needed to prevent sticking).
- Brown the beef until no longer pink, draining fat.
- Add onions and garlic and saute along with the drained beef for about 2 minutes, to cook the onions.
- Add cumin, chili powder, and Mrs Dash Chipotle seasoning and cook about 30 seconds.
- Lower heat a bit, add ketchup, canned tomatoes with their liquid and cook about 6 minutes, or until liquid has absorbed.
- Taste for seasonings and add more chipotle blend if you prefer (I like it spicy so I added more).
- Spoon cooked mixture onto buns and top each with a couple of pickle slices and a slice of cheese.
- NOTE: If you are subbing beans for half of the meat,drained them & rinse them and add then when you add the tomatoes.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the sloppy Joes will be. Look for fresh, flavorful beef and beans, and use a good-quality barbecue sauce.
- Don't skimp on the spices: Spices are what give sloppy Joes their characteristic flavor. Be generous with the cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder.
- Simmer the sauce for a while: The longer the sauce simmers, the more flavorful it will be. Aim for at least 30 minutes, but you can simmer it for up to an hour if you have the time.
- Don't overcook the beef: Overcooked beef is tough and chewy. Cook the beef just until it is browned and no longer pink in the center.
- Use a good-quality bun: The bun is the foundation of a sloppy Joe. Look for a soft, fluffy bun that can hold up to the messy filling.
Conclusion:
Smoky white bean and beef sloppy Joes are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a casual get-together. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a meal that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, give smoky white bean and beef sloppy Joes a try.
