Faith Precedes Size 10

Minnesota Sloppy Joes (adapted from http://www.kitchenparade.com/)

Serves: 4

Points: 6, with bun

1 pound ground turkey or lean ground beef
3/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
To taste, chopped onion

To taste, chopped celery

Buns

In a skillet, cook the meat until done, breaking apart into small clumps as it cooks. (For double or triple batches, cook the meat in a couple of skillets for more surface area.) Meanwhile, collect all the remaining ingredients in a slow cooker. Stir in the cooked meat, cover and cook on high, stirring occasionally if possible, for 4 – 5 hours, longer is fine too. Can be made ahead and rewarmed for later. Freezes well.

To serve, scoop meat onto a bottom bun, top with pickles and chips, put the top hat on. Serve and savor and – yes – smile.
