This was really tasty! I doubled the recipe, but only used 1 Tbsp of the garlic-chili sauce, since I'm feeding it to the kids. I've actually had this recipe saved for ages. I thought if I ever found Huy Fong chili garlic sauce, I'd try it. I've been stocking up on all kinds of funky herbs, spices and sauces when I go to specialty shops. So lo and behold I check my fridge, and there it is: Huy Fong chili garlic sauce!! I really like the fact that there isn't as high a sodium content on this as the canned version of sloppy joes.

The "secret" is out on this recipe -- everyone now knows how delicious it is. I made it early yesterday afternoon and it cooked in the slow cooker until dinnertime. It was delicious -- much better than any sloppy joe mix in a packet or a can. It was all gone in about 5 minutes, and I didn't even get to have seconds, so this is on the recipe list for next week. And I'll be sure to make double. Thanks for this wonderful recipe. (P.S. I put the 1 tbsp. of the chili-garlic sauce in the slow cooker so it wouldn't be too hot for my son, but added more to mine when I put it on my bun -- yum, I love spicy!)

I hate to admit it, but I'm a left-brained cook. I only follow recipes and always have to use my measuring cups. Maybe it's the Virgo in me, but I get nervous if I don't have a guide to help me along. I know as a cook, I'm supposed to estimate this and throw in that and whip it all up without really remembering how I did it but unfortunately, Fox would never give a woman like me a cooking show because I'd be so boring and organized!
I didn't start cooking until after college but then I was hooked! I adore spending time in the kitchen and am still learning so much about how to prepare dishes. My boyfriend and I live together and he is an incredibly picky eater. I invite others over all the time because I'd get completely discouraged if I only listened to his opinion. Men. Sheesh! This is why we now have a standing invitation for Thursday night dinner. Anybody is welcome, providing they have an appetite and at least 2 redeeming qualities.
When my boyfriend and I moved in together, I insisted he upgrade his dinky fridge with the plastic freezer door to a stainless steel beast! I haven't yet convinced him to put a deep freeze in the garage, though he did find room for a commercial kegerator.

I'm very frugal (totally dorky) and pore over the Sunday P & G pages for coupons. I also check my local grocery store sales to determine my weekly meal plan. I grew up very poor in the Midwest so I hate to waste food and am still not quite sure how I ended up with a guy that throws out anything over 2 days old.
