So all my faithful readers….what do you think about the new design? Not only is my blog looking all sleek and sexy, but I also made the big jump from Blogger to WordPress…and for those who know about blogging platforms, that is a HUGE jump. It was terrifying and exciting all at the same time but now it is just a bit overwhelming. Wordpress offers so many awesome capabilities and I am having a hard time picking where to begin! I feel a bit like I am back in 2008 and first learning how to run the technical end of a blog.
I have so many great things coming soon so keep coming back for all the great new features of my blog 🙂 I am so EXCITED!
With so much of my time spent learning a whole new blogging platform (including many hours of online tutorials), my time in the kitchen has been quite limited. Dinners have needed to be especially quick and easy the past couple weeks. This sloppy joe recipe was the perfect fit for that necessity.
I have never liked sloppy joes. Just not a fan of the tomato based sauce. My mother in law has a great sloppy joe recipe that uses chicken gumbo soup as its base but the stores don’t stock that soup where I live. Bummer! This sloppy joe recipe uses beef broth and steak sauce as its base (yum!) and then you top it with that ooey gooey provolone cheese sauce to create a quick dinner heaven!

Hi Carole, I find chicken gumbo soup at Hy Vee here in town on the top row. I really had to hunt for it. : ) I am anxious to try this recipe. My mom makes sloppy joes with Chicken Gumbo soup as well. Will you post your mother-in-law’s recipe some time?

Really?? It has been a couple years since I have looked because both HyVee and County Fair told me they no longer stocked it. Thanks so much! I will definitely share the recipe soon. I am so excited! Carole
