Sloppy joe cups and veggies

1 serving prepared

Here's what I have:

For the sloppy joe mix

1 tsp:

Tomato paste

Garlic paste

1/4 tsp:

Mustard powder

Brown sugar

Chili powder

To taste:

Salt

Pepper

3 tbsp Veggie broth

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

5 oz Ground pork

1/8 cup White onion

1 whole Scallion separate green/white

The veggies:

1/4 cup Sugar snap pea

1/2 cup Carrot

Not pictured:

Bacon butter

Monterey Jack cheese

Preparation:

To start I got some water boiling so I could steam the veggies. As soon as the water was boiling I put the carrots in the steamer basket. The sugar snap peas went on in the last 3 minutes of cooking so they wouldn't be overdone.

While that was going I got a non-stick pan hot and added a little bit of bacon butter to cook the onion and scallion whites. Once the white onion for beginning to go clear I added the ground pork and cooked everything mixing the meat and onions together.

Next I added the sloppy joe seasoning mixture along with the Worcestershire and veggie broth. Then let it cook until the liquids were reduced.

Sloppy Joe mix was put into cheese cups I baked prior to cooking this meal.

A last-minute addition was some Monterey Jack cheese. Cups were topped after this with the scallion greens.

The plate!

I was able to get pretty close to a sloppy joe taste with the spices I used. The cheese cups turned them into little meat cupcakes which were much neater to eat.
