Day 1 of Rachael's Week in a Day (Border Bonanza)

 Well after watching and recording a number of Rachael's Week in a Day, my wife, kids and I decided to do the week. Today's choice was the Green Chili Sloppy Joses with Refried Bean Dip and Chips
The recipe was very good and very easy. I don't typically follow recipes to the T, and this one is no different. The only substitution that I made to the Sloppy Jose's ( I just substituted a pound of ground turkey for a pound of the ground pork) As for the Bean dip I did not seed the Jalapeno, so it was a bit spicy for the kids.

I was also encouraged that there are plenty of leftovers after a family of four, so lunch it set is set for tomorrow.

I also took the opportunity to start the prep for the Mexican Brisket and Biscuits. ( the only change to the recipe is that I will cook it in a crock pot instead of the oven.
