One of the tastiest events of the year, the 8th Annual Greek Dinner Festival on September 22, 23 & 24th did not disappoint. We loved being able to supply several proteins for those delicious dishes!

Did you get a chance to stop by the VFW Booth at the Interstate Fair? Many enjoyed our fresh Angus Meats’ patties – a pleasing surprise for many fair-goers. We loved supporting our local veterans!
The name sounds funny but man they’re some good eats! So where did this serious good eats get its silly sounding name?
According to Marilyn Brown, Director of the Consumer Test Kitchen at H.J. Heinz in Pittsburgh, their research at the Carnegie Library suggests that the sloppy joe began in a Sioux City, Iowa cafe as a “loose meat sandwich” in 1930, the creation of a cook named Joe. Thanks, Joe! (The American Century Cookbook: The Most Popular Recipes of the 20th Century, Jean Anderson).
So if Joe invented it, and I cooked it, would that make it a Sloppy Curry? Personally, I think it has a nice ring to it. In order to make your own Sloppy (insert your name), you will need a few simple ingredients.
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onion
2/3 cup chopped green pepper
2 lb. Fresh Angus ground beef 80/20
3 cups Heinz® Tomato Ketchup
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tbsp. Heinz® Worcestershire Sauce
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
Heat oil in a large frying pan set over medium-high heat. Cook onion and pepper for 5 minutes. Add beef to the pan. Cook, stirring until browned, about 5 to 10 minutes. Drain off fat. Stir in ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until slightly thickened. Serve on sandwich buns.
I like to top my Sloppy Curry’s with sliced dill pickles. Top your Sloppy (insert your name) with your favorite topping.
Post pictures of your sloppy goodness to our Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram pages!

September 9th – 18th
Come by the VFW food concession booth at the Spokane Interstate Fair, Sept 9th – 18th. The VFW booth will be serving up our Angus Meats’ fresh local ground beef patty. You won’t find a juicer burger at the fair. Stop in and support our local Veterans.
During the summer grilling season fresh vegetables and numerous cuts of fresh proteins await the backyard chef. To limit the amount of time in the hot kitchen cooking up those starchy side dishes – open up a bag of your favorite blend of fresh greens instead. Baby field greens, baby spinach, romaine, and even good old iceberg lettuce can be mixed into a salad blend fit for any backyard barbecue feast. Your salad blend becomes your bed of nutrition and a light and refreshing side. Pile grilled vegetables and your grilled protein on top of the greens and serve it up with your favorite condiments and dressing for a lighter grilling affair your family will love.

Have you ever tried ground bison meat (also referred to as buffalo meat)? If not, you are truly missing out. Compared to beef, Angus Brands’ locally ground buffalo:
- Has fewer calories
- Is higher in protein
- Is lower in sodium
- Contains higher levels of B-12, B-6, iron, and zinc
Bison meat can be used in most recipes that call for beef and is one of the leanest, most nutritious meats available. You can use it for burgers, roasts, steaks and stew. Your customers will love this alternative. Because most meat bison are raised on open ranches and fed grass, the meat contains far fewer — if any — artificial antibiotics, hormones and steroids than beef and other more common meats. And since July is National Grilling Month – there’s no better time than now to try something new on your menu.
