Sloppy joes are making a comeback! The sauce is a thicker version of a meat sauce, and it becomes a sloppy Joe when it's spooned over a hollowed-out bread roll, pasta, rice or even a baked potato.
1 cup finely diced onion
1 1/2 tsp finely chopped garlic
1 tsp vegetable oil
12 oz extra-lean ground beef
4 oz spicy beef sausage, casings removed, diced
2 cups tomato sauce (or store-bought spaghetti sauce)
1 1/2 tsp dried basil
1 tsp chili powder
2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp chopped fresh basil |
|
- In a medium saucepan lightly coated with cooking spray, add the onion, garlic and oil. Sauté for 5 minutes or until the onion begins to brown. Add the beef and sausage and cook for 5 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking apart the meat with a wooden spoon.
- Add the tomato sauce, dried basil and chili powder. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
