#6/52 Sloppy Joe Cups

I originally found these on the Instagram page of Delish, upon some other searching I also found the recipe on the Pillsbury website. Let me tell you it’s pretty tasty!

The recipe I have below is a bit of a blend of those two recipes. We used left over sloppy joe mix to make these and I can’t think of a better way to use it! My favorite topping for these was cut up claussen sandwich pickles, omg was it good. My husband decided he was going to start adding pickles to his sloppy joes after these cups!

They were advertised on Delish as a superbowl snack, and in my opinion would be good fresh, not sitting out. So if you have the technology to make that happen this Sunday, do it!

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • All-purpose flour, for surface
  • 1 (8-oz.) tube crescent dough
  • 1 batch sloppy joe filling (about 2 c.)
  • 1/2 c. shredded mixed cheddar and mozzarella
  • Sliced scallions, pickles, relish, and/or yellow mustard, for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375° and grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough and pinch together seams. Cut into 8 squares. Place squares into prepared muffin cups.
  2. Sprinkle a little cheese in the bottom of the cup and Spoon about 1/4 cup sloppy joe filling into each cup.
  3. Bake cups until pastry is golden brown and filling is heated through, about 8 to 9 minutes. Remove from oven and top each with remaining cheese. Return to oven and continue to bake until cheese is melted, 3 to 5 minutes more. Let cool in pan 5 minutes.
  4. Carefully remove cups and arrange on a platter. Top with any toppings you prefer (scallions, pickles, relish, or mustard)

Week 12

Continuing with the Coronavirus miniseries of shelf stable snack ideas…

I bring you crispy roasted chickpeas, that stay crispy (the secret is to remove the skin).

Recipe

  • chickpeas (rinse and remove the skin of at least half but I did all for extra crunch)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Cook at 375°F for 45 to 60 minutes, shaking the pan every 15 minutes. I ended up cooking mine 40 since I took all the skins off, I really love how crunchy they turned out!

Who knew such a little bean could pack so much punch 🙃

The crispy part comes in by shelling the bean, this part was oddly satisfying.
