Celery Chicks

In this video, Betty demonstrates her favorite Made from Scratch Sloppy Joes recipe. Betty has previously demonstrated her Extra Sloppy Sloppy Joes recipe, in which the sloppy Joe mixture was made with a seasoning mix. Due to the fact that some viewers were not able to obtain sloppy Joe seasoning packets, but still wanted to make sloppy Joes, Betty decided to share her very popular homemade version of sloppy Joes. Ingredients: 1 pound ground beef 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup finely chopped onion 1 cup finely chopped celery 8 oz. can tomato sauce 10 3/4 oz. can condensed tomato soup dash of bottled hot pepper sauce 1/2 teaspoon chili powder Sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt over 1 pound of ground beef , and then brown the ground beef over low heat, stirring constantly, until all pink is gone and the beef is crumbly. Add 1 cup finely chopped onion, 1 cup finely chopped celery, 8 oz. can tomato sauce, 10 3/4 oz. can condensed tomato soup, a dash of bottled hot pepper sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon chili posder. Stir, until completely combined. Simmer, uncovered, over low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. You may serve this plain over hamburger buns, or dress it up a bit by using Kaiser buns, spread with sandwich spread, with a few thin slices of tomato, OR, place the sloppy Joe mix on a Kaiser bun, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, and a few jalapeno slices–or be creative and add anything you like! It’s great with just about any sandwich topper!!!

chicken carcass, or 1 lb of leftover chicken bones 1 leek 1 carrot skin of 2 onions 1 bay leaf 1 Tbsp peppercorns handful of parsley 1 stalk celery or 1 Tbsp celery salt water Place all of the ingredients in a large pot (the bigger the better) and fill the pot with enough water to reach a couple of inches over the chicken carcass. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat and remove any scum that may have collected with a spoon. Reduce the heat as low as possible and let the stock simmer overnight, or keep the heat at medium and allow the stock to cook for 3 hours or so, until it has a nice yellow colour. Pour the stock through a fine strainer and into small containers for freezing. If you like your stock strong, cook the reduced stock over medium heat for another 40 minutes or so.
