This meal is perfect for a weeknight because it's so quick and easy. Take a look back to my February 22, 2017 post for Fry Sauce/Anything Sauce. These dipped in that sauce is truly perfection!!
Full disclosure... the one pictured here wasn't mine. I ate mine and spaced out taking a picture. This was an extra one we made for my husband's lunch.
Let's Get Crafty!
Cook together until meat is cooked and onions are soft:
1 lb ground meat (we used ground elk meat)Updated Picture 2021:
We used the grill pan on the stove for these and the grill lines were perfection!
Let's Get Crafty!
Cook together until meat is cooked and onions are soft:
2 small shallots or half small onion, diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
(If using ground hamburger try to go as lean as you can. Otherwise the onions will just soak up all the fat... which might be delicious but not as healthy.)
Let's fancy it up! Stir in the following and simmer together until warm:
1/3 cup ketchup (I usually do half ketchup and half no salt tomato sauce)
2 tablespoons mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire
This part of the recipe generally feels like we're headed to sloppy joes. That may have been where I was headed as I made this for the first time a few years ago because Connor has always loved sloppy joes.
Before you call this done... be sure to taste it and adjust as necessary. This is how we like it... maybe you like more ketchup or mustard. OR! Add something delicious like pickle relish. As the Sandwich King from Food Network says... "If you aren't tasting - you aren't cooking."
Before you wrap it up - pick what you would like inside. Here were our options along side a picture of what mine included. I added lettuce, tomatoes, jalapenos and cheese.
With each of us getting to pick what's inside - I use the toothpicks to determine whose is who's. Connor and Emily's were 3 toothpicks, mine was four and Mark's was 5
Now it's time for the grill. I'm blessed to have a husband that enjoys grilling and equally blessed that he's very good at it. These are grilled in direct heat for just a minute or two being sure to turn as much as possible to get all the sides crispy.
**Picture Update May 2020** I decided to make these on my pampered chef grill pan and they were fantastic!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a great rest of your day!
