Best Smokey Joes Recipes

SMOKEY JOES

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat (adding a spray of cooking spray or a drop of olive oil if needed to prevent sticking).
• Brown the beef until no longer pink, draining fat.
• Add onions and garlic and saute along with the drained beef for about 2 minutes, to cook the onions.
• Add cumin, chili powder, and Mrs Dash Chipotle seasoning and cook about 30 seconds.
• Lower heat a bit, add ketchup, canned tomatoes with their liquid and cook about 6 minutes, or until liquid has absorbed.
• Taste for seasonings and add more chipotle blend if you prefer (I like it spicy so I added more).
• Spoon cooked mixture onto buns and top each with a couple of pickle slices and a slice of cheese.
• NOTE: If you are subbing beans for half of the meat,drained them & rinse them and add then when you add the tomatoes.
