Open Face Mexican Sloppy Joes over Cornbread image

Another comfort food. Open face sloppy Joes on corn bread (with a few additions). It has a bit of a Mexican flare but still very mild. I also love to serve this with Mexican coleslaw, but the sloppy Joe's are great on their own. I even make this with ground turkey which has less fat, but that it is up to you. I like to serve over a spicy cornbread and top with some monterey jack cheese. It makes a great Saturday or Sunday dinner.

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 lb ground turkey
1/2 cup green pepper, diced
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 celery rib, diced
1 small onion, diced
14 1/2 ounces diced Mexican tomatoes
8 ounces tomato sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 pinch sugar
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
salt
pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil to saute the vegetables and turkey
1 cup monterey jack cheese
3 scallions, fine chopped
2 (14 ounce) boxes Jiffy cornbread mix (or your favorite mix along with eggs and milk according to directions)
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 cup diced green chilis
1 cup monterey jack cheese

Steps:

  • Vegetables -- In a large saute pan, add the oil and bring to medium heat. Saute the celery, garlic, onion and green pepper until lightly sauteed.
  • The turkey -- once the vegetables are soft, add the turkey inches Saute until golden brown and vegetables are soft.
  • Add the tomatoes, sauce, and paste, seasoning, Worcestershire, salt and pepper to taste. And just let simmer 30-40 minutes.
  • Cornbread -- Mix the cornbread mix, the milk and eggs according to the box directions. Add the green chilies (lightly drained, I keep a little juice), seasoning and cheese. Bake according to directions. I like to use a 13x9" pan.
  • Cut the cornbread into squares and then serve Sloppy Joe sauce over the top. Garnish with grated cheese and scallions.
  • I love to serve with this with coleslaw or black beans or a simple green salad.
