Sometimes you want something fancy, different, try something new. But there is something about “Sloppy Liz” that AB just can’t get enough of. If I let him he’d have this dish just about every other week. After a couple months of multiple times of this dish I put a limit that we are only allowed this once a month.
The basic recipe is actually from Real Simple: https://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/not-so-sloppy-joes but based on some comments (and our common likes) I put in some different things thus making it a “Sloppy Liz” instead of a “Sloppy Joe”.
Make sure to add in worcestershire sauce to the mix. It can vary how much, a couple glugs, to a lot of glugs, but trust me it will add lots of good flavor. AB likes things saucey so I actually add 1-2 tomato paste cans of water. So what I mean by that is empty the tomato paste mix into the pan then fill the can with water to add to the mix. Dependent on how saucey you like it. We alternate between ground beef and ground turkey. I try not to go super lean because then it takes away flavor and it gets a little “dry” but you do you. I add in a whole (big box) of sliced baby bella mushrooms after I add all the seasonings etc. I find if I add it too early the mushrooms are just a little too mushy. The time it takes to simmer the sauce etc cooks the mushrooms just right. Don’t like mushrooms? Leave em out~ but AB and I LOVE mushrooms.
Hope you guys give this one a try! This is one of those few recipes I can actually do from memory now!
