Stretching Dinner

Transcript

I'm using everything in our house to make dinner, lunch, breakfast before we go shopping. I have a bell pepper, I have a jumbo thing of biscuits, so I think we're gonna do like a sloppy joe bake with these on top. Let's make it. I'm gonna go ahead and slice this up. You guys, I get married in 50 days. 5050. That's absolutely insane. I'm gonna dice it up and we're gonna fry it up or brown it up, you know? Next, we're gonna go ahead and dice half an onion. All diced up. Yes, I'm gonna save half of this. We're gonna put it in the fridge for a meal tomorrow. I'm gonna go ahead and put some oil so we can brown it down. And then we're gonna go ahead and put those in there. We're gonna cook them down. Sloppy Joe mix is so easy to make. If you've made it this far, I got one bell pepper left. What am I gonna do with it? Let me know in the comments please. Like, share, do all the things. I've also seen comments about my tattoos. Let's do a tour. This is a dog that passed away. It's her birthday. Badger with some flowers. And then I got a dragonfly for a friend that has passed away. My daughter's flowers. And then I got a matching tattoo with my dad. I also have a tattoo on my foot. It's across that where it said strength. Those are my tattoos. It's cooked down halfway. Now we're gonna use the rest of this ground beef. It needs to be used up. It's been in the fridge. About a pound and a half. We're gonna cook that down too. Onion and garlic powder. Salt and pepper. Splash of cayenne. I have the tiniest amount of W sauce left. I'm gonna use her up. That's all she wrote. Spoonful of brown sugar. Now she just got to cook. Little bit of tomato sauce. Some ketchup. Let me know, are these the same? The last of our ketchup. Oh, this is mustard. Never mind. That's all she wrote. There's your sloppy Joe mix. Mix it all together. We ended up having sloppy joe. So we just did mac and cheese and sloppy joe.
