<\/span><\/p>\n

I have been trying to post recipes, especially freezer recipes, on the weekends\u2014anything that will help our families run more smoothly and have more time for training and relationships is a go here at PP 365!!!<\/span>

<\/span>
One of my long-term, simply-Simon recipes is my sloppy joes. \u201cSloppies,\u201d as we call them, are simple to make in bulk, freeze well (and easily in quart sized zip locks\u2014though we used to use gallon ones!), are liked by many, and are excellent for large group gatherings. As a matter of fact, Ray and Josiah just made twenty pounds of it yesterday\u2014half for our freezer and half for a surprise birthday party for four kids in our field trip group (about sixty total people were fed). That’s another beauty of having your recipes organized like you see here—when I have to work, someone else can cook if the instructions are clearly laid out for them. <\/span>

<\/span>
I will post it doubled, tripled, and then ten-timed\u2014that is what Josiah and Ray used. We almost always use minced onion nowadays, but the fresh onion measurement is in the recipe (convert on the back of your minced onion can). We like to cook this long and slow and cook it down well. For the ten times recipe, it works better in two HUGE pans, so you have room to stir and cook off the juice. This is a sweet sloppy\u2014which is how we like ours. You could reduce the sugars, if desired.<\/span>

<\/span>

<\/span>

<\/span>
Happy cooking!<\/span>
