The chef found a great deal on lean ground beef, so we’ll need a few recipes to use it up. It’s safely stored in the freezer, so we have a couple of months to use it, before the quality starts to decline.
This recipe is quick and easy to prepare, with ingredients that the chef likes. It’s from a recipe booklet by Betty Crocker in September 1996 — Casseroles & One-Dish Meals.
It has that familiar Sloppy Joe taste, but it’s not as messy to eat, and more nutritious than regular Sloppy Joe in a hamburger bun. If you don’t have Sloppy Joe mix, you could use plain tomato sauce, and a few herbs and spices instead.
Use a food processor or mandolin to slice the potatoes so they’re really thin, and all the same thickness. Otherwise some of them might be a bit crunchy.
