The people at Country Bob’s<\/a> sent me a couple of bottles of their wonderful All Purpose Sauce<\/a> a while ago and last week I finally got a chance to do some experimental cooking with it. After trying a few of the dishes from their recipe book, it was time to begin adapting my cooking to it. The first thing I had to try was a new version of the old Sloppy Joe standby. It came out great, so here it is:<\/p>\n

Dan’s Country Bobified version of the Sloppy Joe:<\/p>\n

1 lb. ground hamburger
1 chopped green pepper
1 chopped medium onion
2 cups chopped\/diced\u00c2\u00a0tomatoes\u00c2\u00a0with juice
1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
1\/2 cup County Bob’s All Purpose Sauce<\/a>
salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder to taste<\/p>\n

Brown the hamburger and onion in a fry pan, adding in the chopped peppers about half-way through the browning. When the meat is browned completely, drain and then stir in the tomatoes and juice, the mustard, the Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce<\/a>, a dash of salt and pepper and a bit of chili powder and\u00c2\u00a0garlic\u00c2\u00a0powder. Reduce heat and\u00c2\u00a0simmer\u00c2\u00a0uncovered for about 20 minutes until the liquid from the tomatoes has mostly evaporated.\u00c2\u00a0Serve over a half-bun or home made bread slice as an open face sandwich with dill pickles and chopped onion for a garnish. Definitely tasty.<\/p>\n

When I made this, I used some frozen diced tomatoes from Mom’s garden that I had in the freezer. Some other variants that are tempting me is to replace the tomatoes with a can of either diced tomatoes with\u00c2\u00a0jalape\u00c3\u00b1o peppers for a spicy version and diced tomatoes with habanero peppers for a blazing hot version. (Diced tomatoes with\u00c2\u00a0jalape\u00c3\u00b1o\u00c2\u00a0peppers and diced tomatoes with habanero peppers are available in the Mexican foods section of most grocery stores.)<\/i><\/p>\n

If you try this or any variants, let me know.<\/p>\n

BTW, I just checked the <\/i>Country Bob’s site<\/i><\/a> and you can now sign up for a free bottle of <\/i>Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce<\/i><\/a>\u00c2\u00a0for yourself, another family member, and a friend.
