Sloppy Joes & Home Made Burger Buns

Tis the Sunday before Phil returns back to work (after Christmas) and we had a big pack of mince in the freezer.  Phil went to his good ol' trusty Food Wishes website to search for a recipe.  After only a minute, he decided we would have Sloppy Joes.

Not only that, but he had seen a recipe for Hamburger Buns, so he decided to try that out too.

Phil baked the buns in the morning, meaning they were nice and fresh for the meal at night.  The recipe isn't hard, and we recommend clicking on the below links to view the videos for each:

The great thing about Sloppy Joes is that if you have a large amount of mince, and for some reason, we had 1kg of it, then this recipe will last for a few meals.  You obviously also have the ability to freeze the meal for later on.  Freezing the buns, however, I wouldn't advise doing that.  If you don't use them all up, pop them in an airtight container for a few days and when they start to go stale you can make Bread n Butter pudding.  YUM!

So anyway, the result of all of this was a very very delicious meal.  We cooked it for a little too long so it wasn't as runny as I was hoping, but according to Phil its not meant to be runny.  Guess my expectations were a little different!!!

The end result

Also, too much Cayenne pepper in it for my liking.  I enjoy a bit of heat, but that was a little bit too much.  I don't think the recipe was incorrect, I just think Phil was a little heavy handed haha .................

I would possibly recommend serving it with a light salad, just to balance it out.

Following this up with some ice cream.  I say its to "cool my mouth" but really we know its because I LOVE sugar hehehe

ENJOY!
