I was feeling inspired by all the great recipies I found on the Del Monte Tomato Kick-Off Sweeps Pin Board so I decided to make some South Western No-Mess Sloppy Joes, a recipe that I adapted from Richard's Sloppy Joe. I modified it to incorporate the Southwestern-Style Petite Cut Diced Tomato varieties I recently received and more.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1 (14.5 ounce) can of Del Monte® Petite Cut® Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies
1 1/4 cups ketchup
1/2 cup bottled barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 can of refrigerated biscuits

Optional Ingrediants:
2 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapeños
1 tablespoon liquid from pickled jalapeños
Shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. Cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring until beef crumbles and is no longer pink; drain well.
2. Return cooked beef to skillet, stir in tomatoes, ketchup, barbecue sauce, worcestershire sauce.
3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until sloppy joe mix has thickened.

4. Preheat oven to the temperature suggested on the biscuit packaging.
5. Flatten biscuits using your hands or a rolling pin.
6. Spoon some of the sloppy joe mix on top of a flat biscuit and add cheese (optional).
7. Fold the biscuit in half and press on the ends using your fingers ore a fork to create a seal.
8. Bake in oven for the amount of time as directed on the packaging.

My husband loves this recipe and I'm sure it's going to be a hit at the Super Bowl party we're going to attend!
