Buffalo Sloppy Joes

[Bozzj 0]

I got this from Rachael Ray and it was really good. Very moist and easy to eat. food network doesn't have the recipe posted so i had to wing it based on what i saw on the show...

Time: 15 minutes

1lb ground chicken (lean)

shredded carrots, big handful

celery, finely chopped (handful)

1 onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

blue cheese crumbles, a sprinkle

Buns (i didn't eat it on a bun, but my husband did)

olive oil, 2 tablespoons or so

s & p to taste

Tomato paste, 2 squirts from the tube (or if from a can 2 tablespoons)

hot sauce, 1/3 cup

whistershire sauce, 1 tablespoon

8 oz tomato sauce

brown sugar, 2 tablespoon

chicken stock, 3 tablespoons or so

heat pan with olive oil and brown chicken. once brown add onions and garlic. Once tender (about 3 minutes) add celery and carrots. season with s & p.

meanwhile, combine last 5 ingredients in a bowl and stir until mixed. when celery and carrots are tender add sauce and stir. add tomato paste and stir. let cook for about 5 minutes or so.

i ate this with just some blue cheese on top, but if using buns build the sandwhiches and top with cheese.

Thanks for sharing your recipe, the trick for me is finding ground chicken, if not chicken I could try turkey, that's always readily available at my local grocer.

This sounds so good, I actually found it this evening before seeing this thread :-)

Not too far from my own personal recipe. I don't do the Buns myself, but my wife still does.

I've made Sloppy Joe's with almost everything under the sun - ground beef/pork/chicken/veal/turkey ... haven't tried it with buffalo yet, but I do know where I can get some.

Sorry, I NEVER measure my ingredients, just do it to taste (nver failed yet).

A little Olive oil in the pan (enough to keep the meat from sticking while browning) as the meat is browning I add a pinch of salt (always worried about my salt intake), some ground pepper, and about 2 tablespoons of Hickory barbecue sauce.

Gently stir while browning. Drain well.

Put back in pan, add a little Water as your cooking this to keep the meat moist and to have 'some' gravy.

Add mustard (I use yellow, but have fun), ketchup, a 'little' vinegar, brown sugar, white and black pepper.

This is a 'tasting' dish, so add small amounts as you go until you reach your own taste.
