Tonight D had to work, so I took the opportunity to make something he wouldn't like. I could live off of beans, D hates them. I made this dish back when I was a vegetarian cause I was craving some sloppy joes. All I did was replace the ground beef with pinto beans. Yum! Tonight I just used the can of sloppy joe mix. Usually I make it more from scratch, and I think I'll continue to do so. It was a lot more liquidy with the canned stuff. Still delicious though. I could probably just drink straight sloppy joe mix. I feel like I've been cooking really simple things lately. Not that there's anything wrong with that. If D were more open to beans in his diet I would probably just keep a can of beans and a can of joe mix on hand for fast dinners. But I really enjoy cooking. So I like to make things from scratch. It's fun. And I'm excited cause tomorrow...I'm making macaroni and cheese!
Sloppy Joe Beans
1 can pinto beans (or 1 lb cooked beans)
1 can sloppy joe mix
oil
wheat bread
Drain the can of beans, then add the beans and joe mix to a pan with a little oil in it. Simmer it for about 15 minutes or until the sauce has reduced a little. Spoon the beans and sauce over slices of bread.
Served with steamed broccoli. <-- I'm hoping sharing the sides I served will keep me more accountable to serving a veggie.
