Sloppy Joes, by color

[kozar]

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.

1. The white sloppy Joe's sound delicious.

I have only eaten the red sauce, brown ground beef style......this change up is something I will try... I believe I will use mozzarella cheese vs swiss...

thank you...

2. Ok, mozz

Will add more" meltiness" but very little flavor, the Swiss, adds a bite, that doesn't, taste bad, mozzarella, will only, make this a pizza sloppy. Mozzarella is such a mild, white cheese, next step up Swiss, it has a bite.
Ty, your tastes, determine how you cook,

3. I'm just not that fond of swiss cheese beyond a ham sandwich.

I am willing to try it..I do eat swiss cheese alone with crackers...so why not try it for the tangy bite.

4. Ok ,a ,

Sharp white cheddar, would work just, as well

5. Swiss, has a bite,

Sharp white " white sloppies" also has,a bite.
I didn't mean to suggest, this is the only way.

7. Poured-out-of-a-can Meat-mush by another name.

Try and order one of those in New Jersey and they will look at you like you have no head.

New Jersey Sloppy Joes are famous. And delicious. And NOT that mush-meat crap!

A friend of mine grew up loving them in NJ. Whenever I get to a NJ deli I order an extra one for her - and immediately Fed-Ex it to her across the country. I OWN HER!
