0:00
- I'm fixing to share a recipe with y'all.
0:03
Gosh, darn it, I don't know
0:06
how long I've been making this.
0:10
And it's great for a quick, quick supper
0:15
or like a Sunday night supper
0:17
if you've been with the family all day, and you're tired,
0:22
there's nothing like a good old hot
0:25
Sloppy Joe sandwich, that elbow licker.
0:30
So I'm going to make a pretty big pile of it y'all.
0:33
I've got three pounds of ground beef
0:40
and I'm going to use all three pounds.
0:43
I've been using that (indistinct) so it's going to be hot.
0:49
- [Theresa] Do you want me to get, are there some?
0:56
- My hands are pretty tough.
0:58
Ouch, not that tough! (laughing)
1:02
Lulu, come over here and get you a treat, little girl.
1:08
Come get you a treat.
1:13
Look right here, look at that treat.
1:18
You know, they say raw meat is so good for dogs
1:24
and I would never give them raw chicken,
1:28
but like raw hamburger meat.
1:32
- They say it's just very very good for them.
1:36
But I ain't no vet, so there you go.
1:40
All right, I'm adding a diced bell pepper.
1:51
And I'm just going to cook this
1:53
until there's no pink left in the burger meat.
1:58
After it's cooked and all the pink is gone,
2:04
I'm gonna sprinkle it with some flour,
2:06
which is going to help thicken it up,
2:08
and then we're going to add
2:12
a most wonderful barbecue sauce to it.
2:15
And it's my son's Dean Brothers Barbecue Sauce,
2:21
and this is so, so good.
2:23
And I'm gonna add this whole jar to our Sloppy Joe.
2:29
And then I'm gonna use a couple of tablespoons
2:33
of Paula Dean's Vedalia Onion Steak Sauce.
2:38
And this flies off the shelves, doesn't it?
2:40
- [Theresa] Mm, and it gives it such a good zing.
2:43
- Such a good zing, and people love it, mm.
2:52
Mm, smells delicious.
2:54
Can y'all smell? (laughing)
2:59
- Did you get that Eddie?
3:02
- Okay, now I have browned off our meat,
3:05
and onions, and bell peppers,
3:09
and there's no pink left in the meat.
3:14
So I'm putting in six tablespoons of flour
3:18
and that's gonna thicken our Sloppy Joes up.
3:29
And I didn't drain it,
3:31
because that's what's going to give it the flavor.
3:34
But if you feel like you want to drain it
3:41
I hear my phone ringing all the way up here. (laughing)
3:49
Anybody that really needs me,
3:51
they know to call Eddie, (laughing) Eddies phone.
3:54
- [Theresa] The secondary, uh-huh.
3:55
- [Eddie] I've got my phone on silence,
3:58
so they could be calling your phone, too. (laughing)
4:01
- Yeah, they may be calling me.
4:05
- [Theresa] Or it could be one of those silent calls.
4:10
No, when it says silence calls.
4:13
- [Theresa] Doesn't even ring?
4:14
- Uh-uh, it doesn't ring, and I love it.
4:17
All right, so now I'm going to add a bottle
4:21
of the boys fabulous barbecue sauce.
4:26
And they make several flavors, don't they?
4:31
It's like it's got molasses in it.
4:36
- [Eddie] Yeah it looks rich.
4:38
- All right, now I'm gonna add a couple of tablespoons.
4:46
- [Theresa] The recipe says two, I believe.
4:48
- Yeah, two tablespoons.
4:54
So, now this is, the ladies at the store
4:58
tell me that this just flies off the shelf at our stores,
5:07
You know Michael and I don't,
5:09
we really don't eat steak sauce as a rule.
5:16
We like our steaks naked. (laughing)
5:20
If the meat's good enough.
5:20
- [Eddie] With butter.
5:22
- Yeah, yeah, a little butter.
5:26
If the cut of meat is good enough,
5:30
it don't need nothing but a fork. (laughing)
5:35
Okey-dokey, so that is it,
5:38
so we're going to let that simmer for 15 or 20 minutes.
5:45
Okey-dokey, our Sloppy Joe's has been cooking
5:53
And in hindsight, I really do wish I had drained it.
5:57
- You know, meat has gotten so expensive,
6:02
and you don't know how much is fat and water,
6:08
so I should have drained it.
6:09
So I would highly recommend that you drain it,
6:11
but in case you didn't, like me,
6:14
and you got some fatty meat,
6:16
there's several ways you can remove the grease from it.
6:22
I got a spoon and I took some of it out that way,
6:26
I took a turkey baster, and got some out that way.
6:31
And this is another trick that works real good
6:34
is using lettuce, and that grease will adhere
6:42
to that cold lettuce, and just pull it right off.
6:51
- So this is a neat way, and it's fairly quick.
6:55
And I like those big leafy lettuces.
7:02
So you see how it's drinking that up?
7:06
- [Theresa] I've never heard of that.
7:13
And you can also, I'll show you one other way to do it.
7:19
I had it out, but I think I put it back
7:23
because I was going to demo the lettuce.
7:27
See how you can tell how much grease it sucked up.
7:33
Another way to do it.
7:35
- [Theresa] Good old fashioned bread.
7:36
- Is take just plain old bread.
7:42
The easiest way though,
7:43
is to pour it in a colander (laughing) and drain it.
7:47
Michael just came in. (laughing)
7:50
He just asked me for that piece of bread
7:52
that I pulled out of the grease. (laughing)
7:57
I've got our buns heating in the oven,
8:00
in the air fryer oven.
8:03
I got out some mayonnaise, because Michael and I
8:08
we eat mayonnaise on all of our sandwiches.
8:13
It might be a little messy.
8:16
Let me get a female spoon out of here.
8:20
- [Eddie] There you go, right there on top.
8:24
- [Theresa] you're already prepared.
8:25
- It is a female, yes.
8:34
How bout that, Michael, is that enough for you?
8:36
- [Michael] I think, for the first one.
8:40
- I think it's going to be pretty sloppy.
8:45
- [Theresa] No you fix yours, and I'll come fix mine.
8:47
- Okay, well you come fix what you want,
8:49
and I'll fix what I want.
8:50
- [Theresa] I think I'm gonna skip mayonnaise,
8:51
although I love mayonnaise.
8:52
- Oh, you're going to skip it?
8:54
- You some pickles, or anything like that?
9:03
- I'll need a napkin for this beer.
9:06
- Yeah, when he gets through eating it, y'all
9:07
his beer, it's gonna be orange.
9:16
I think there's a reason why they call them
9:23
You know what, mustard would be good on this too.
9:27
- I think I'm gonna pull out the mustard.
9:31
It's funny, the older I get, the more I like mustard.
9:40
- [Theresa] Taste buds changing?
9:42
- Yeah, they say your taste,
9:48
Michelle, when she was a little girl,
9:51
she'd say my taste bugs don't like that. (laughing)
9:59
All right, I'm gonna to dig in.
10:06
- [Theresa] Watch out, it's hot.
10:13
Look at Michael, how tough he is.
10:18
- [Theresa] What you're eating with it?
10:20
The rinds, pork rinds?
10:23
- You want some? - Uh-uh.
10:25
- [Michael] They're good.
10:27
(pork rinds crunching)
10:29
- [Theresa] That's good.
10:36
- [Theresa] How spicy are these though?
10:37
- [Michael] Not bad.
10:40
The wet part of the Sloppy Joe
10:43
is a jar of Jamie and Bobbies barbecue sauce.
10:49
- [Eddie] It smells so good in here.
11:06
Eddie, you sure you don't want one?
11:10
- Well ole man, you want a spoon? (laughing)
11:17
I can just get you a little bit out of a custard cup?
11:24
I really do think y'all gonna like this.
11:28
So, from the four of us,
