Sloppy sloppy sloppy

This is the time of year where I start gearing up to work wonky hours. We have audits, inventories, year end, meetings...you name it and we do it between October and February which means weird hours at work. So you will see more quick and easy weeknight meals and the fun, lengthy stuff on the weekends. But, as I am learning, quick and easy doesn't mean less tasty!

I find Chatelaine (a Canadian magazine) always has great recipes for the time crunched cooks among us. I had a recipe for a meat sauce dog eared for a bit now - they call it South of the Border sauce. Really, there is nothing horrendously special about this. Ground beef, pasta sauce, salsa - not much going on there. They suggest serving over crusty bread, but I picked up some whole wheat kaiser rolls instead. The sauce was not bad - very much like a sloppy joe sauce. But what made the meal.................

Was topping this with sliced avocado and cheese. Yum!!! I served them open faced with a fork and knife. I would recommend adding some black beans perhaps next time....or some chipotle chilis. I used chipotle tabasco sauce which added a slight smokiness. This sauce would taste great on top of rice!
