2 Packages Sloppy Joe Mix

2 Tablespoons Sugar

Biscuit Dough 1 16 Ounces Ca Black Beans

1 16 Ounces Ca Kidney Beans

Frozen Shredded Hash Browns Tortillas

Regular Joes: Whenever I find a good buy on beef, I cook up 3 or 4 pounds as sl oppy joes. I combine the cooked ground beef, chopped onion, chopped green peppe r, one or two sloppy joe mix packet (I have even substituted taco seasoning and it worked fine), then lots of ketchup, a little mustard, and two tbsp. cider v inegar and two tbsp. sugar. The first meal, I serve the sloppy joes on buns.

Sloppy Joe Muffins - for freezer: Then I press biscuit dough into muffin tins a nd fill with sloppy joe meat. I bake until the biscuits are brown, then flash f reeze them, and put them in a large freezer bag. I've served them with cheese o r without, whatever your preference.

Sloppy Joe Sauce - for freezer, serve on Potatoes: Next, I add one can of kidne y beans and one can of black beans to the remaining sloppy joe meat. I serve th is over baked potatoes for another meal. (The sloppy joe meat and beans can be frozen at this point).

Sloppy Joe Burritos - for freezer: Finally, I add frozen, shredded hashbrowns t o the sloppy joe and bean mix, and roll up in tortillas as hand-held burritos. I flash freeze these and then wrap them individually. When I re-heat them, I se rve them with salsa. Found At: http:/www.geocities.com/heartland/ranch/3854
