Foodie Friday: The Chew's Sloppy Mikes

This recipe was super easy! Love it!

Michael Symon made this on the Chew.

Hubby enjoyed it as well, enough that he said he'd eat it again! LOL

The recipe is below =)

2 tablespoons olive oil and bacon. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Add onion to pan and continue cooking. Add tomatoes and simmer for another minute.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef with a pinch of salt and paprika.

Transfer onion, tomato and bacon mixture to the browning meat. Stir to combine ingredients. Add cheese and stir to combine and melt. Note: If the meat is too dry you can add a little chicken stock to help moisten it.

Oops I forgot to take a picture...

So I ate a second one, for picture taking purposes only...yeah that's it... heehee
