Soutwestern Sloppy Joes

When we first tried this recipe we weren't sure it would be that good. However we were pleasantly surprised. This is a really good meal!

Makes 4 servings



1 T. oil
1 onion chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped (hint: wear gloves when handling to prevent irritation)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 pound ground meat (turkey 0r beef)
1 can Mexican style corn, drained
1 1/2 cups chunky salsa
1 Tablespoon packed brown sugar
4 hamburger rolls, split



Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Swirl in the oil, then add the onion, garlic, and jalapeno. Cook stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the chili powder and oregano, and cook one minute more. Add the meat and corn, and cook until the mixture is nearly dry about 4 minutes. Stir in the salsa and sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and the meat is cooked through, 4-5 minutes longer. Spoon over the opened rolls and serve.
