goes gangster in this Funny or Die Video (here).
It’s definitely worth watching.
Last weekend we broke out the crock pot and made homemade sloppy joes based on this recipe, but with a few variations. We decided to use bison + pork instead of regular beef which is what I think made it so delicious! The best part was that most of the ingredients you’ll probably already have in your pantry.
Ingredients
2 Carrots, chopped
1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 8 hamburger buns, toasted
Preparation
- 1. Brown beef and sausage with onion, garlic, and bell pepper in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, stirring 10 minutes or until beef and sausage crumble and are no longer pink. Drain well.
- 2. Place beef mixture in a 4 1/2-qt. slow cooker. Stir in all remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on HIGH 4 hours. Serve on hamburger buns.
- Couldn’t be easier! I know my pictures are awful, but they were so good. The extra couple of dollars for the bison and pork made this dish. I can’t wait to use the slow cooker again soon.
Ingredients
- 8 (5-inch) flour tortillas
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup prepared chunky cilantro salsa, divided
- 3/4 cup cooked black beans
- 8 eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Special Equipment: 12-cup muffin tin
Directions
Happy WEEKEND!

Coffee Talk
sometimes booksmart is just… boring.”
even YOU think you are dumb as rocks.
You also refer to people as “what’s her butt”.
I’m also kinda happy Brittney left
because ALL I saw when I looked at her was
the girl from The Virgin Diaries
and therefore all I thought about was this horrifying first wedding kiss.
I just hope this doesn’t mean Paula’s cookbooks and shows are going all health-food-nation on us… because then I’ll get mean.
I know you all are watching Revenge
because if you aren’t, you are pure crazy pants and missing the best show of the year. Honestly. And I watch A TON of TV,
so you should trust me.

Check out British actress Ashley Madekwe’s, Victoria’s personal assistant on the show, blog here. She is seriously so gorgeous.
Anyway to get my Revenge fix is good for me. She posts great outfits with reasonably priced items from stores like Topshop (Thanks Al for sending!)
