We loved this recipe when I made it for supper last night. My partner came out to the kitchen and I said I am making sloppy Joe's and he said it smells like Tex-mex sloppy Joe's and I said that is exactly what the recipe is called. It was very yummy and there was no leftovers in our house that night. This recipe is a definite keeper.

There is very little grease from 4 slices of bacon. The ground beef is SiRLOIN,,which is soo lean; We loved this recipe, as it was a great change from boring sloppy Joes;Kids wanted to eat it with corn chips!Minimum grease- only 4 slices of bacon, and ground sirloin is LEAN

Keep this in mind. Each slice of bacon contains at least 240 grams of sodium at a minimum. If you are watching your sodium intake, these 4 slices of bacon represent approximately 960 grams of sodium. Turkey bacon has 180 grams per slice of sodium or 720 grams for this recipe. In either case, that's a lot of sodium to consume.

you are not eating an entire slice of bacon just a little bit of it
