Bolognese Sloppy Joes
Bolognese Sloppy Joes is an updated version of the classic dish sloppy joes. Made with turkey sausage, peppers and wine. This is one dish you don’t want to miss!
Things you Google.
What is Area 51? Will they make another Game of Thrones ending? How old is Madonna?
Seems simple enough.
Until you ask Google, “What chip caused anal leakage?” we don’t know how, but Mr. B and we randomly started up a chat about the famous bag of chips that caused anal leakage. We should have a podcast because we talk about the most random sh$t ever.
Anyway, we could not remember what company produced these specific chips nor the ingredient that caused such a foul bowel movement. Well, thank God for Google. We typed in a-n-a-l l-e-a-k……was all it took. There it was in all it’s glory: WOW potato chips. Ring a bell?
Oh, and in case you are on pins and needles. The lovely ingredient that they added to the potato chips to make them fat-free was Olestra. Gotta love 1998.
Truth: we definitely purchased a bag because we would have been a freshman in high school and was always trying to look thin. We don’t remember having anal leakage, but we do remember our mom saying even though they say fat-free doesn’t mean it’s good for you.
Our mama is smart lady. She also fed us sloppy joes when we were a babe and we devoured them. We seriously can’t wait until we can feed Charlie real food! BUT! Before we dive down that rabbit hole we want to chat with y’all about these Bolognese Sloppy Joes.
This is like the adult version of regular sloppy joes. In the mix you’ve got turkey sausage, peppers, garlic, and wine. It’s to die for. Served on some fancy focaccia slices with shaved Parmesan. SO GOOD. Just don’t forget to have some potato chips to go alongside. Ya know, to keep us young like Madonna.
By the way, how old is she??
