Sloppy Joes

The staple foods at camp includes a good old Sloppy Joe.  This morning I am sautéing some onions and garlic as the base for the sloppy joe sauce.  I like to throw in some peppers and some pureed mixed vegetable (adding some stealth vegetable is always a goal in a camp kitchen).  I will add some barbecue sauce that matches our standard or some of our homemade sauce (click here for recipe card of BBQ sauce), and then some tomato sauce.  Once it starts to simmer, I will get the kitchen staff to taste it and see what they think needs to be added. Brown sugar and powdered mustard are staples for the mix.  Give it a try and play with the taste and texture to arrive at your own magic mix.  Make sure you have a good beef to fry up and a superior roll to place it on.

Ciao!
