Sloppy Joes

Sloppy Joe

As a mom of two teenage sons I need those quick, fast, tasty recipes during the week. They come and go and need to eat a decent meal after school and before going out. I had no inspiration for Dinner tonight and Ricardo came to the rescue.

If you don't know Ricardo yet he his one of my favorite Chef on Food Network. His recipes never failed me. Ricardo is the most popular TV chef in Quebec, he has been called "Quebec's answer to Jamie Oliver." I love his cookbook Weekend Cooking.

For tonight's Dinner I choose to cook his Sloppy Joe. I have made many Sloppy Joe recipes but this one is the best. This is a winner. You can serve it the tradionnal way on buns with cheese on top that you melt under the broiler or with your favorite nachos chips, sour cream and green onions. It's delicious. Sorry we don't have any leftovers.

I am not familiar with this "Sloppy Joes", I was going to ask whether you have left over, too bad none left for me. I guess I just have to make my own then.

Looks delicious!

I've never had a sloppy joe, but with a huge carnivore for a husband, I've always wanted to try. I know he will love it!

Sloppy Joes are a favorite standby in my home! My grandson thinks they are fun to eat because they are messy and it's okay!

Now this is a meal my husband would love! I've never heard of Ricardo. I will have to check him out the next time I'm visiting the in-laws in the great white north. :)

Happy cook said...

I have heard about this, but never seen how they are served.
No wonder you didn't had any left overs, they looks delicious.

Pooja said...

Wow looks delicious. Feel like grabbing it! Would love to know the recipe..waiting for English version of the same as I cannot read the one posted :)

Home-made sloppy joes are the best! These look so yummy with the melted cheese, and your idea of eating them with chips is great.

Jeff said...

Am I the only person who hears sloppy joes and instantly thinks of the movie Billy Madison and the lunch lady?

Love a good sloppy joe and been ages since I had one. Man that really has to get changed...

Wandering Coyote said...

I haven't had Sloppy Joes since I was a kid! Look excellent!

unconfidentialcook said...

I admit I haven't had a sloppy joe since college--wonder why....You've convinced me to try again.

The toasted bun with cheese is just delish! Love, love that.

zoe said...

I just made sloppy joe's a couple of weeks ago. I was blown away by how I loved them. (I hadn't eaten one since I was a kid.) Just looking at your pic right now is making me think I'm gonna skip the tilapia I had planned for dinner and go with Joe!

Audrey said...

This brings back such nice memories...I had a cookbook for kids when I was a little girl and my favorite recipe from it was sloppy joes. Your recipe has such nice seasonings...I'm sure I would love it. And I think the melted cheese on top would take this sandwich over the top!

Sara said...

My husband loves sloppy joes, he will be so happy when I make this!

Steph said...

Those sloppy joes look delicious! I like Ricardo too, but I haven't seen him on in a long time.

suzielarose said...

Wow, the picture is just too perfect...to eat right here and now. And I'm writing this at 6:25 AM.

Mamina said...

Je ne connais pas ces sloopy joes mais je sens que ça doit être terrible.

Deeba @Passionate About Baking said...

Thos sloppy joes look amazing Helene...DELICIOUS! How could there be leftovers?

Grace said...

i'm such a fan of sloppy joes, but would you believe i've never topped mine with cheese? i don't know why it hasn't occurred to me to do so, clearly it improves the meal. :)

Katherine Aucoin said...

This looks wonderful and the melted chese just gives your sloppy joes total drool factor!

I'm trying to subscribe to your blog and can't find out where. I don't want to miss anything. :)

I don't think I've told you this story before, but the pastor's wife at my church shared with me her family's favorite recipe once. She said to take frozen burritos, lay them in a 9 x 13 inch pan, cover them with enchilada sauce and cheese and then bake until the burritos are finished. I was skeptical but thought, "Well, it sounds easy enough." After trying the dish, I told her, "You know, Ann, I tried your family's favorite dish and I have to tell you, it was just alright." She replied, "You have to understand, in a house with two teenage boys, it doesn't matter what you make, you just have to make a lot of it!" Your sloppy joes look a million times better than any old frozen burrito anyday! :) I'll be in your shoes with the two teenage boys in another 9 years! I'm already stocking up ideas.

Ivy said...

Wow, from the picture this looks delicious. It's like pizza with ground meat on a bun. I know my children would love this.
