Sloppy Joes

Tell us what we're making and who that woman to your right is

So hey, y'all. I'm here with one of my best friends in the whole world, Donna

We're fixing to make a meal under 10 minutes, and I'm going to show her my family's favorite recipe

for a wonderful, hot, yummy, sloppy joe. And you're so excited. Y'all all recognize this woman right here

This is one of my best friends in the whole world. This is my friend Donna

I love her to pieces. And I'm going to show her a sandwich that I rely on a lot

a sandwich that I can make, a hot sandwich in under 10 minutes

Are you in, Donna? I'm all in. Okay. Just hit that screen, Donna, anywhere

Donna grew up in New Orleans. My buddy knows good food. So, Donna, you do the garlic, and I'll do the onion

I am going to share with Donna one of my favorite hot sandwiches

and it's just that good old reliable sloppy joe. So excited. Yes, so I'm just going to tear that meat up

and hopefully one day I can show y'all another sloppy joe recipe that I just love

I still make it to this day. I've been eating it since I was 11 years old

Now this sloppy joe you typically think about a sloppy joe being a red base And that what this one is But another one of my favorite sloppy joes is like a beef base

A beef broth base. So yeah, Donna, throw that in. I've got a half an onion going in here

We're going to salt and pepper it. Oh my gosh, this is the best recipe for children

Oh, it is. After school. Brooke and Jamie always make sure they got the proper amount

of vegetable, proper amount of protein. Yes. But so the other night, Brooke was kind of desperate

for a quickie-quickie. And she made sloppy joes, and she said, Paula, Jack ate two complete whole sloppy joes

When Michelle was little, this was her favorite thing. Salt. After school. Pepper

Oh, you gave these to her for a snack? This is like the easiest thing, and what I would do

Seven minutes and 52 seconds. I'd always have, like, rolls similar to that

but the smaller ones, you know those little rolls? Yes, the slider rolls. Yes, the slider rolls

That was a great meal. And you open a can of corn

or you just cook some carrots, and that is a great meal

Oh, we need some ketchup in here. Okay, but we got to wait until all the red's gone out of that

so hurry. I'm trying. Six minutes and 59 seconds. Okay, I'm coming, I'm coming

You know what? This is like lean ground beef. Look, so we had to add some oil. This is great

No fat, no fat. So that a healthy meal You gotta cook this for four minutes though so we gotta hurry Okay there we go Okay brown sugar Yes A tablespoon of brown sugar A tablespoon Just to make it good and sweet the children like that

Yes. And then... All right, some hot sauce, a little hot sauce, but not too much

I put Worcestershire sauce in almost everything. Okay. And a little Worcestershire sauce

That's enough, right? Yes. Don't you think? I was raised very Italian, and we..

I thought... Cooked a lot. I thought Italian. Now, see, I think that's about a tablespoon

Yes. I think of Norland's. I don't measure either. I think of Norland's being Cajun

Oh, look at that one, Donna. Yum. Oh, I'm so excited. That one's mine

This one's yours. I won't fight her. Donna doesn't eat bread often

Well, that's because I've been trying to lose weight. She's always on a diet

Always on a diet. Yeah, but look at you. You lost so much weight. I am so fat. Look, yay

Four minutes and 29 seconds. Look, and we're really done. We're finished

So this is your meat. Yes. Because you just have to let it cook now. I'm going to take this off because I don't want them to burn

Okay, so y'all, look how quickly we did this. It was like less than five minutes

Where's the mayonnaise? I always eat mayonnaise on mine, do you? No

No. What do you eat on your... No, just this. This is it

That's what makes it so delicious and so simple is you don't have to put a lot of ingredients

And look, y'all, no butter. Did y see any butter in that No butter Lean ground beef a little oil a little oil Oh she got butter on her bread Cook it down nicely Look how nice this is

Yes. Yum. And... Looks delicious. I'm telling you, when we have... Stick your finger in that, Donna, please

and tell me if it's got enough salt. You want me to stick my finger in this boiling liquid

Better yours than mine. How about this little knife? Well, I usually just go like that

What you doing? A salt. Ooh, it's so delicious, though. Yum. Yes, I know

This is cooking down really well. Okay, I don't have a slotted spoon down here

but I do have a slotted spatula. That's no problem. No problem. I'm gonna go stop the clock

because it's done. We're gonna eat. Woo-hoo! 56 seconds. This might be a fork burger

Okay, let's toast. Oh, okay. Here's our toast. Yum. You got more meat than me

It's so good. Mmm. Mmm-mmm. Delicious. Mm-hmm. Pickles would be delicious on this

Mmm. Yum. We all love it. See y'all later. Mmm. Go to the Paula Deen Network to find more, y'all
