Making your own sloppy joe mix is very easy and tasty and I don't know why I just don't do it more often instead of thinking of that canned crap. The baby was all about it and he isn't keen on ground beef so I figure I'll start making my own more often.
Sloppy joes and tater tots. Easy is best on Monday nights.

Nothing too exciting - 1 lb. ground beef with a yellow onion diced, cup of ketchup, cup of water, tbsp of yellow mustard, tbsp spicy mustard, splash of hot sauce, splash of worchestershire, 1/2 tsp of garlic powder, couple of tbsps of gates, tbsp of brown sugar, salt, pepper to taste. Simmer for about 30 minutes or so and it's good to go. I throw some yellow mustard on there and have a couple of dill pickles along side it.
I was actually going to use a can of manwich but I broke the can opener yesterday and was forced into making a mix when I realized I had no way to open a can without going to the store or using the claw end of a hammer.
I really wanted to throw some red pepper flakes in there and would have done a green pepper if I would have thought to grab one. Both of those are additions my wife and 14 month old prolly wouldn't have been too fond of though. [Reply]
I got about 1.5 pounds of leftover cubed roast and thought about throwing that in the slow cooker with onion and green pepper then doing a rough chop in the food processor, top with provolone cheese for a sloppy joe style cheese steak. Saw it on facebook but they used ground beef in a pan. [Reply]

Wife's peppered steak was excellent. My jerk chicken was overcooked, but the flavor of their spice and sauce was really good. Made me want to make jerk at home, so I'm making up a rub/marinade tonight. The chicken probably would have been fine if they'd have given me the more-forgiving dark meat.
Also had fried plantains (very good) and "festival bread," which is a fried cornmeal dough (heavenly).
Bought some quarters and separated them, marinating since last night. Made the sauce with some Red Stripe, and set to grill as soon as I get home. I used jalapenos and some sriracha instead of the more authentic habanero (which I couldn't find), but the paste had a nice heat, and the sauce was excellent.
