Tonight's meal was quick and easy to prepare, thanks to our garden (provider of the summer squash), Angel Food Ministries (provider of the watermelon and ground beef for the sloppy joe's) and once a month freezer meals (provider of the prepared sloppy joe's)!
Barbecued Sloppy Joe's
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1/2 chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 cup barbecue sauce, any flavor
hamburger buns
Directions:
Cook ground beef in a large nonstick skillet until cooked through; drain. Add peppers and onion; cook and stir until tender. Add barbecue sauce; cook until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally. Fill buns with beef mixture and serve. If freezing: After mixing in barbecue sauce, place beef mixture into a freezer bag, squeeze out air, seal and freeze. Thaw at least 24 hours in the refrigerator. Heat in microwave in a microwave-safe bowl for about 3-4 minutes then serve.
My little 2 1/2 yr-old daughter ate her entire sloppy joe--I am still stunned. I cut hers up into 4 triangles and she ate every bit of it. She wouldn't touch the squash or the watermelon, but I can't complain since she happily ate her sloppy joe. On the other hand, my son ate all of his watermelon, plus his sister's watermelon, but refused to eat more than a couple bites of his sloppy joe, and none of the squash. Isn't it amazing how two kids, who were raised in the same house, fed the same food, have such different appetites?
