Sloppy Buffalo Betty's

My teenage daughters are obsessed with anything "buffalo" sauced.

The other night I came up with a super simple idea to make a riff on the traditional "Sloppy Joe" that everyone remembers; use Buffalo sauce instead of ketchup.

I also lightened it up by using ground chicken breast, which in itself can stand up to bold flavor additions.

It's got a kick to it, but is not too spicy even for  the younger ones due to the addition of Ranch dressing in the sauce and also drizzled on top!

Served alongside a cooling Cucumber salad, your family will start asking for Buffalo in all kinds of dishes.

  

Ingredients:

2 tbsp Butter

½ onion-small dice

1 clove of garlic, pressed or micro-planed

¼ cup minced celery

1 lb ground chicken or turkey breast

1/3 cup Buffalo wing sauce

¼ cup prepared Ranch dressing (plus more for drizzling)

Crumbled Bleu cheese or bleu cheese dressing-opt.

6-8 Soft Split buns

Directions:

1.    In a sauté pan heat the butter over medium high heat and sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes, add garlic, and celery. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

2.    Add in ground Chicken or Turkey and cook and crumble until cooked through and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes.

3.    Pour in buffalo sauce and ranch dressing. Lower heat to simmer and simmer uncovered for another 8-10 minutes.

4.    Serve heaped onto soft buns and drizzle with additional ranch or bleu cheese/dressing. 

Enjoy!!
