Sloppy Joe

How do you elevate a common cafeteria classic to a hot mess any gourmand would die to eat? Well, for starters use mutton instead of ground beef, and throw in some Cocoa Nib Rub and some peppadews…..

Recipe for greatness:
1 pound ground mutton ( we got ours from Wishbone Heritage Farms)

1/4-1/3 cup peppadew peppers, chopped (we got ours from Bobby Behr at the Summerville Farmers Market)

1 cup chopped onion

1/4 cups cocoa nib rub

3/4 cup Porzio’s ketchup

Brown mutton, onions, and peppers. Drain off the resulting liquid. Add cocoa nib rub and mix it throughout. Add the ketchup, reduce heat, simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. Add more ketchup or cocoa nib rub if desired.

And that’s it. Easy and delicious. Throw that mess on a bun and enjoy!
