I do love a sloppy Joe!
This is another of those meals that nourishes the body but can be made within 15 minutes, from refrigerator to table. Without the tater tots, it could be made even quicker, but we had the luxury of a little extra time tonight and, so, tater tots it was.
Everything turned just as I’d hoped it would. The sauce melded with the ground “beef” and mushrooms very well, the lima beans packed a nice boost with their sweet, mellow flavor, and the tater tots were a fun, carby side item. And now we’re all filled up just in time to go relax with some friends, whiling away another Monday night!
The stats:
Buns: $0.99/eight ($0.12/person)
Ground “beef”: $4.69 ($2.35/person)
Pizza sauce: $1.85 ($0.93/person)
Mushrooms: $2.95 ($1.48/person)
Lima beans: $1.00 ($0.50/person)
Tater tots: $3.69 ($0.92/person)
GRAND TOTAL: $15.17 … or $6.30 per person.
