Foodie Friday

So, Jarrett has been out of work for most of the week. He hasn't been feeling well and finally went to the doctor today. Apparently, he has the flu! The poor thing has barely eaten all week long. He called me today to tell me he wanted something really filling for dinner tonight. While I really want to make Cowboy Spaghetti because it's my favorite food of all time, I will resist the urge (Jarrett doesn't share my love of pasta!) and make him some sloppy joes instead. The best thing about these is that you can save half of the mixture and make shepherd's pie the next night (or a few after).

Sloppy Joes and Shepherd's Pie

Ingredients:
1½ lb. Ground Turkey (or beef)
1 can Rotel Tomatoes
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce (eyeball it)
1¼ c. Ketchup
½ c. BBQ sauce
Kaiser Rolls
For Shepherd’s Pie - Mashed Potatoes (prepared), 1 can Corn, and Cheese

Instructions:
Cook meat and drain
Return to skillet and stir in Rotel, ketchup, BBQ sauce and Worcestershire.
Reduce heat to low and simmer 15 minutes.
Serve on Kaiser Rolls

With the left overs to make Shepherd’s Pie - Mix 1 can or yellow corn into meat mixture. Place in baking dish and top with mashed potatoes and cheese.Back at 350° for 25 minutes.

I probably won't be posting for the next few days. I am headed to visit my sister and the kids and then off to Lake Lanier for the Governor's Tourism Conference. I hope to do a little shopping at the outlet malls while I'm there - maybe I'll get lucky and find some good deals.
