Ely's Sloppy Joes 

1/2 stick of butter
1 lb ground meat (turkey, in my recipe)
1/2 lb sliced white mushrooms
1 small can of tomato sauce (garlic, basil, oregano flavored)
1 can of Rotel
Seasoned salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste

In a deep frying pan, melt the butter. Once it's melted add the mushrooms, and sautee for a few minutes.  Move them to the outside of the pan, and add the ground meat.  Get it good and brown, while stirring everything all together.  Once it's browned, add the tomato sauce, and Rotel. Stir it well so it doesn't stick.  Add the seasoning to taste.  Make sure you simmer it to your desired consistency.

**note**

 If you make this with meat that has more that 1-3% fat (such as beef), make sure you do the meat first so you can drain the grease off of it.  The turkey has so little grease that I don't have to drain it.

 Lemonberry pie

6 egg yolks
2 (14 oz) cans sweetened condensed milk
1 cup lemon juice
1 lb frozen blueberries
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 Tbs cornstarch
2 pack of 9 inch deep dish frozen pie shells

Whisk together egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, and lemon juice in a large bowl.  Set Aside.  Take the berries and heat on the stovetop in a pot/skillet on Medium heat until berries are warm and are releasing their juices.  Next add the Sugar and stir until it starts to bubble.  Add in the vanilla and the cornstarch and stir while it thickens.  Once it gets to your desired thickness remove from heat and pour into the bowl of Lemon mix. Poke holes into the bottom of the thawed pie shells with a fork (to prevent bubbling up).  Stir the blueberry/lemon mix well and then pour into the pie shells.  Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 15 minutes then cool completely.  Chill for 4 hours then enjoy!
