Corned Beef Sloppy Joes

I inherited this recipe from my mother-in-law. It sounds awful, but it’s strangely satisfying during daylight hours, and pure excellent late at night after a feed of pints.

SERVES: 2
PREP TIME: 2 MINUTES
COOK TIME: 2 MINUTES

Ingredients

12oz tin of Libby’s Corned Beef
1 packet of Lipton Onion Recipe Soup & Dip Mix
1/2 cup sour cream
8 hot dog buns

Method

In a mixing bowl, break up the corned beef, and fork in the sour cream and the dehydrated onion nastiness.

While the Lipton Onion Recipe Soup & Dip Mix is considered ‘traditional’, omit if your doctor has you on Lisinopril.

Microwave for two minutes, stopping one to stir.

Spoon over open hot dog buns.

Make sure you have your cardiologist on speed dial.

Notes

When my ladywife emigrated from Michigan to New York in the nineties for college, her family sent her off with a survival kit, which she still has somewhere. The kit contains everything a soon-to-be-eighteen-year-old might need to survive in New York: two types of screwdrivers, a pair of pliers, a phase tester, a roll of duct tape, and a recipe book of classic Midwest recipes. By classic, I mean novel uses for mayonnaise, novel uses for hotdogs, other things you can do with mayonnaise, and this gem.
