It's officially the first day of November which means it's time to start planning for Thanksgiving. I like to get an early start, so I already have a few things prepared and waiting in the freezer. With all the chaos of the holiday season trying to get dinner on the table every night can sometimes be a challenge. Well, I'm here to tell you it doesn't have to be!
With a just a little planning and a few simple meals you can avoid dinner chaos, microwave meals and surrendering to the fast food line or take out. The key to stress free dinnertime is planning a menu with simple meals, so you can still enjoy the holiday season and get a hot meal on the table at the same time.
This is where today's recipe for this Sloppy Joe Pasta Skillet comes into play. If you love traditional Sloppy Joe's than you're going to love this tasty pasta skillet meal that combines all the flavors of your favorite Sloppy Joe's. This pasta recipe is quick, easy and perfect to help you get dinner on the table in about 30 minutes.
Pair this skillet meal with a vegetable, salad and Rhodes Warm-N-Serve Rolls™ to complete the meal! I love these rolls and they're so convenient. They're perfect for an everyday meal and fancy enough for a holiday dinner. The best part is that Rhodes Warm-N-Serve Rolls™ are partially baked, so there's no thawing, no rising and no waiting.
Just simply pull them out of the freezer, place them on baking sheet and you'll have hot, fluffy rolls ready in minutes. These rolls are perfect reheated the next day and also make wonderful Sloppy Joe Sliders, so you see there's another quick dinner meal for the holiday season. Let's get started on the recipe and the step-by-step instructions.
In a 10-12 inch skillet, cook the ground beef or turkey, onion and green peppers over medium high heat, breaking the meat up as it cooks. Cook until meat is no longer pink.
While the meat cooks, boil the Rotini pasta according to package directions until al dente (about 5-7) minutes. Drain pasta.
Drain off any grease from the meat. Season the meat with salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder to taste. Add the Sloppy Joe sauce, fire roasted tomatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce and barbecue sauce. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium high heat, then reduce heat and simmer the mixture for 10 -15 minutes.
Add the drained pasta and stir to combine. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, so the pasta is heated through.
Sprinkle with cheese (optional) and serve.
