Chipotle Sloppy Joes

Shared with me by: Flo C (former neighbor)

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground chuck or 1/2 lb. ground turkey & 1/2 lb. lean ground chuck
  • 1/4 c. chopped onion
  • 3/4 c. ketchup
  • 1/2 c. frozen corn
  • 1/2 c. canned black beans, rinsed, drained
  • 1/2 c. tomato sauce
  • 1-2 t. minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1/2 t. ground cumin
  • 1/4 c. chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 t. each salt and pepper
  • 6 hamburger buns (we use whole wheat or bun toppers)

Instructions

Brown meat with onion in large nonstick skillet over medium heat, breaking up into crumbles, until thoroughly cooked; drain fat drippings.

Stir in ketchup, corn, beans, tomato sauce, chipotle peppers and cumin; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 5 minutes, stirring often. Stir in cilantro, salt and black pepper.

Place beef mixture on bottom half of each bun; close sandwiches and serve.

NOTE: Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce comes in a small can; use what you need and freeze (in a plastic container) the rest for another use.
