Thanks for the thread drift that led me to think about sloppy joes!

The meat mixture is simmering (covered) on the stovetop as I type. I
thawed a couple of cheap white burger buns, which sloppy joes
practically demand. Should make for a tasty meal on a cold night. I
bought some potato chips to go with it. I might even put some chips on
top of the sandwich as mentioned by Cindy Hamilton.

That does sound good and yes, soft white buns are a must.

I'm planning on a smoked beef and pork sausage sliced and browned tomorrow
and then mixed in with hot kraut with caraway seed mixed in.

I have tried a variety of recipes for those and even stuff like Manwich. We
just don't seem to care for it. I do like loose meat with onions, with or
without cheese though.

I didn't use canned 'Manwich' although it doesn't surprise me that you
did. Cheese? No cheese came into play here.

Hi O. Manwich is a canned 'sloppy joe' mix...just add to one
pound ground beef. Heat and serve on bread. I'll bet it tastes
better than Jill's (or anyone else's) homemade mix. The
'original' is the best as that's what made them so popular in the
first place.

Others can criticize all they want but that product has made the
company a fortune.

I stopped using Manwich years ago when I realized that homemade will
kick your Manwich ass all the way to Alaska.

BTWE: it's made by ConAgra. And it hasn't "made the company a
fortune" nearly as much as 250 other products have.

A sauce that comes in a can. You have to add cooked ground beef to it to
make Sloppy Joes. It's a waste of money.

It's a SPAM and mushroom rice night here with the rest of the SPAM can
opened from earlier in the week. (12oz standard can, we'd have had 6oz
tonight split by the 3 of us but actually we went closer to 1/3 a can
and have about 1-2oz left so closer to 1oz each)

Going with it is not a normal flavor match but it was handy.

3 C chopped head cabbage
1/2 C chopped onion (used a red one for color)
1/3 C 'Shaved carrot' (used a peeler)
2 TB butter
2 TB olive oil
1/4 ts mild curry blend
Sprinkle of Sesame seeds, probably 2 TB
Toss oil, seeds and spices in wok/skillet and blend then add the rest.
- we have about 1C leftovers on this for later lunches

Beanpot soup leftover and frozen earlier in late September- A rather
nice black eye pea type, had been made a little black pepper spicy and
had roughly 2 cups so call it 2/3 cup each

Dessert
3 mangos, simply halved around the stone then cross cut the flesh and
use a spoon to eat off the peel. (one each).

To *us* the main meal was the veggie mix but I know I am unusual there.
I find when planning a menu my first thought is the 'what do I need to
use up' then a full feeling meal for 3.
- the above in a rough of magnitude is about 3.5 cups per person and
starch high but calorie load fits well in a 2,000 a day plan.

I think someone here will like that (sans curry blend)

I might add pineapple too

Yes!

The last of the can of SPAM was minced up and added to scrambled eggs
with a bit of the tender bulb of a leek and some diced brocolli stem
(for minor texture crunch). This was loaded on some of the flatbread
made yesterday. Basically a sort of soft thick taco type of
construction. Nice late breakfast.

That seeges us to today's evening cookery nicely. It's a large 3.5lb
chicken going in the Vertisserie (vertical rotisserie as opposed to
horizontal more common units). We lightly coated the chicken with
sweet paprika and whisky smoked black pepper. Tonight will be the legs,
thighs, and wings. The rest of the meat and all of the bones will be
separated for other meals through the week.

Vertisseries often have (and mine does) a metal crock at the top for
making the sides off the same heat in the unit. That is now filled with
chopped brussells sprouts, cubed king oyster mushroom, a red bell
pepper, minced fresh garlic, and some olive oil. It makes a mix to add
to 'butter fried rice' for dinner.

Some old bread from previous bakings was frozen for stuffing uses so
that is defrosting on the counter. We will cube it up (sorta,
torn/cube) and add spices later. I'll use some of the drippings from
the vertisserie pan for the stuffing.

Asian Eggplant slit longways and waiting in a glass 'brownie' pan,
brushed with olive oil and a liberal addition of shredded cheeses.

So, after the chicken is done, we pull the excess meat and add the
carcass to another we have in the freezer and toss that into the
crockpot to make bone broth with any remaining juices from the bottom
of the vertisserie. Stock setup for the next 2 weeks.

Some of what we will eat this next week will be the flat bread slit
like a pita and fit to a pan and baked like a pot pie.

Just guessing but is that also dipped in kimchee?
It's a large bite for one mouthful, imo.
Looks quite tasty regardless.

Not kimchee. Furikake. It comes in a variety of different blends:

There probably are more.

That's extreme closeup for you. Typically, seared ahi and sashimi are dipped in a sauce of wasabi and shoyu. That's the way it's done here, at least.

That's extreme closeup for you. Typically, seared ahi and sashimi are dipped
in a sauce of wasabi and shoyu. That's the way it's done here, at least.

Well, that's a good thing. The panko was a Safeway brand of not a very good quality because the particle size was quite inconsistent. That funky panko however, gave the ahi a very attractive look!

What's getting popular here is ahi katsu - ahi rolled in nori, coated and fried. It's tasty!

Sloppy Joe's is a 'pulling my hair and can't think what to fix for
dinner' thing. We have them a couple of times a year.

It was thread drift that led me to it. I had ground beef, I had
onions and garlic and canned tomato sauce. Cheap white hamburger buns
in the freezer. Hey, sloppy joes! It was cold outside and they were
nice and warm inside. With potato chips.

I've been making a lot fo sloppy joes the last couple years. I make
my own sauce with 2 parts ketchup one part CYM (cheap yellow
mustard), worcestershire, a little BBQ sauce, granulated garlic,
along with the drained ground beef sauteed with onion and green
pepper. I usually thicken the sauce with a little cornstarch. And
then pile the slop onto hot dogs buns with pickle slices so they're
not as "sloppy" and don't squish out the sides of hamburger buns on
the first bite.

Or another idea is to make slider - also less messy. The best
things always come in threes!

Oh, and brown sugar I've tried to make less sweet sloppy Joes, but
it just doesn't work. Sweet is better. And I'm not usually a
proponent of sweet meets.

Your mix sounds good, Steve. I especially like the idea of using
a hot dog bun rather than the hamburger buns. Only one side to
worry about it falling out. Also the garnish of raw onions on top
is excellent. I cook onions with the ground beef but the raw on
top would add nice crunch and a nice 'bite' to it.

That said, I only make sloppy joes about once every 3 years. Most
times, I'll opt for bbq sandwiches with plenty of coleslaw on
top. And the vinegar based sauce. Put it on the meat and it
looks like no sauce is there but it is. I think I'll also do bbq
next time using the hotdog rolls.

I made beef stew and gluten free corn muffins. The texture came out a little
lighter than when made with whole wheat pastry flour but still good.

One thing I keep seeing marked down at various grocery stores is called
"chili meat". It appears to be a coarse ground beef with seasonings. I can
see why people might not want to buy it. I prefer to season my own stuff.
