Beef Skillet - Sloppy Moe's

Submitted by Chef Shadows

"My son and I were the only ones home and hungry! I had been to an outdoor party that had leftover fire roasted potatoes on the previous weekend and had brought some home. We had burger in the fridge that needed to be used ( soon ) . Creative cooking can bring wonderful results, don't be afraid to experement! This is a variation of the typical Sloppy Joe."

The smell of this cooking is AMAZING, but the texture of the potato makes it a little weird. I didn't have onion powder so I used a couple tbs minced, fresh onions and I skipped the mushroom because we're not crazy about them. My BBQ sauce of choice is Sweet Baby Ray's, which blended nicely with the other flavors. My 2yo, who rarely eats meat at all, at 3 helpings.
