This is a fantastic Freezer Meal! Last weekend I made up a bunch of freezer meals and this was one of them. When it came time to heat this up and make dinner, I was able to do everything while holding my 9 month old. Aside from the time it took for the french fries to cook, it took me about 5 minutes to "make" dinner. With the busy life we have, these kind of meals are a must around here. And did I mention how amazing these Sloppy Joes are?? Yum!
Ingredients
- 2lbs ground chicken (or beef)
- 1/2 onion
- 1 green bell pepper
- 5 garlic cloves
- 1 1/2 cups ketchup (or make your own with pureed tomatoes)
- 1 cup water
- 2 TB brown sugar
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp dry mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Cook ground meat until brown, drain fat (if any)
- Add onions, green pepper and garlic
- Cook until vegetables start to become soft
- Add ketchup (or your pureed tomatoes), brown sugar, chili pepper, dry mustard and water. Stir to combine and simmer 15 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste if desired.
- If eating right away, place on toasted buns, in a pita sandwich or between pieces of BBQ'd eggplant.
- If freezer, place in freezer bag and freeze! Just thaw and reheat when ready to use.
