Equipment
- 1 Large Skillet
Ingredients
Indian Sloppy Joe Filling
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 lb Lean Ground Chicken
- 1 Red Bell Pepper Seeded and chopped
- 1 Small Onion Finely Chopped
- ¾ cup Tomato Sauce
- ¼ cup Plain Yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
- 2 teaspoon Garam Masala
- 1 teaspoon Coriander Powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin Powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ¾ teaspoon Ginger Powder
- ½ teaspoon Fennel Seeds
- ½ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Assembly
- 4 Kaiser Rolls
- Lettuce
- Red Onion Slices
- Cilantro
Instructions
- Get a medium campfire going, or get your charcoal on the go. (If you’re making this on a stove, use medium-high heat and a nonstick pan.)
- Add the ground chicken and olive oil to a large cast iron skillet - or a dutch oven, and set over the fire or hot coals.
- Cook - breaking up the meat as it cooks - just until it’s cooked though. Add the chopped bell pepper and onion, continue cooking until the vegetables are tender, another 2-3 minutes.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the pan, stir well to combine.
- Allow to simmer for about 15 minutes, or until thickened to the texture you like. (I'll usually turn the stove down to medium low or medium heat, when cooking this at home.)
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Divide Indian Sloppy Joes mixture between your buns, serve hot, with your choice of toppings.
Notes
Leftover sloppy Joes mix can be cooled to room temperature, then stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat before serving.
See the post for details on how to do most of the food prep in advance, creating a freezer pack of ingredients. It makes the cooking SO much quicker and easier when we get to our campsite!
