SANDRA'S MOOSEY ALASKAN SLOPPY JOES (Quick N Easy)

A surprisingly quick and easy method to prepare terrific sloppy joes for a crowd

that's nearly as fast as opening the traditional store-bought canned version, 

but tastier...

Serves: (6-8, depending on bun size)

Prep: 5 Mins.

Cook: 10 Mins.

INGREDIENTS

1 lb. lean moose burger (or venison, buffalo, caribou, elk, poultry, beef...)

Pinch of red pepper flakes

1 tablespoon finely chopped green bell pepper

1 tablespoon finely chopped celery

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon low-sodium tamari (or soy sauce)

1 teaspoon worcestershire

1 (15 oz. can) tomato sauce

1/2 cup ketchup

1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard

6-8 potato buns (or your preference)

Side options:

-Potato Chips

-Dill Pickle Spears

-Sandra's Best Coleslaw (click for recipe)

-Sandra's Best Potato Salad (click for recipe)

METHOD

In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, brown the burger (drain if using non-lean).  Add the remaining ingredients; bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low.  Cover skillet and simmer for 10 minutes, while occasionally stirring.

Meanwhile, lightly toast buns either under the broiler for a couple of minutes or in the toaster using the 'bagel' setting.

Serve immediately by generously spooning Sloppy Joe sauce onto bottom toasted bun, top with other half of bun. ~ Enjoy!
