Sloppy joes? The color system

I admit, im a fan of Red, the traditional sloppy. When LilBit was here, I would put a color chart in front of her, and ask her what color sloppies, she wanted.
Her fave, was always White sloppies, brown the proteins , ground chicken and mushroom, in her case.so I didn't drain, a couple of nice big spoons of ricotta, for creaminess, and some shredded Swiss, for a bit of bite, and if it needs a bit of thinning, CREAM, this is a very heavy, rich tasting, Sloppy
And then, Brown. Same prep, a beef bullion cube, broken up, not diluted with water only, let it cook down ,let the protein fat diluted the cube its gonna be salty, more water, I add a couple tbs, of Dijon mustard, and then water only, to cut that salty,
Don't forget to , taste, taste, taste, as you cook.

This is LilBit and I recipes, I had gastric bypass, 11 years ago. Make them your own.
That's called, COOKING.
