I'm just beginning to cook so my recipes are pretty quick and simple. This recipe is a really simple, quick, and tasty 'Sloppy Joe.' This is what we are having tonight before we go to the football game. You can also let this simmer in a slow cooker after browning the ground beef if you prefer.

Black Onion Relish
This quick and very dirty recipe for black onion relish was quite delicious on grilled salmon, but with every bite I became more and more agitated, thinking about how utterly perfect this would have been on a grilled hot dog.
Potatoes and Peppers
Whether roasted or sautéed, potatoes and peppers are a classic — they're easy, filling, and very tasty! I served this as a side with grilled shrimp and corn on the cob and it was a huge hit. It would also be good at breakfast instead of hash browns.
