It's just like the classic Sloppy Joe recipe you grew up with, but with a slight riff. This version is made with ancho chili powder that add a smokey heat to the dish. 

INGREDIENTS 
 

½ cup BBQ sauce your favorite kind

4 Tablespoons ketchup

2 tsp beef concentrate like Better than Bouillon

2 tsp ancho chili powder

1 Tbsp cornstarch

2 Tbsp water

1 ¼ pounds ground beef 85%-90% lean

1 teaspoon oil such as canola

1 cup yellow onion chopped

Salt and pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Chop onions, set aside.

Mix BBQ sauce, ketchup, beef stock concentrate,  ancho chili powder, salt, pepper, cornstarch, and 2 tbsp water. Set aside.

On medium, heat oil in a cast iron or non-stick skillet. Sauté onions until softened or slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.

Add beef to pan, breaking up with a spoon or spatula. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook until browned and almost cooked through.

Add sauce to beef mixture. Stir to combine.  

Simmer on low heat until beef is cooked through and sauce is slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.

Spoon ¼ meat mixture onto each of 4 toasted buns.

Garlic and Ginger Bok Choy

Course: Main, Side Dish, vegetable

Cuisine: Asian

Author: LydiaF

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 2 garlic cloves, sliced thinly
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce I used tamari
• 4 baby bok choy, cut in half lengthwise, root and leaves trimmed
• 1/4 cup water plus more as needed
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch or tapioca starch
• sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

• Heat the sesame oil over medium heat in a wok or large skillet or dutch oven
• Add the ginger and garlic and cook for a couple minutes, taking care the garlic doesn't burn
• Add the tamari, then the bok choy, turning to coat in the oil and seasoning.
• Add 1/4 cup of water and cover the pan with a lid. Steam the bok choy until the stem end is tender, about 4 or 5 minutes. Add more water if necessary.
• Make a slurry of the cornstarch with some water. Push the bok choy to the sides and pour the slurry into the center, stirring to make a sauce. It should thicken and become glossy.
• Remove the bok choy to a platter, pour the sauce over top and garnish with the sesame seeds.

Next Ingredient: YUCCA PLANT (I bought some and would love some ideas!)

I've eaten Yucca fixed Cuban style.  Pinterest has it pickled.  It's kinda bland by itself.

Hope we get some ideas on here!

Oh wow! I've never had it and am wanting to try some new to me veggies and get out of my rut. I hope it's worth the trouble but at least I'll know either way!

Next Ingredient: YUCCA PLANT (I bought some and would love some ideas!)

[Zhills]

To me, it tastes like a mixture of white turnip root and white potato.  Awfully bland alone.  It would not be on my usual veggie list.  Try it...you might enjoy it! 

It is served in the Cuban and Puerto Rican restaurants here.  Often seasoned with mojo flavoring.
