Ingredients
  • 2 (12-packs) king's hawaiian original hawaiian sweet dinner rolls
  • 2 pound lean ground beef
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 green bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 celery stalk, chopped
  • 1/4 cup cajun seasoning mix
  • 1 28-ounce can chili beans
  • 1 8-ounce can tomato paste
  • 3 cup water
  • 6 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoon paprika
  • 24 green olives
  • 6 slices american cheese
Directions
  1. In a large pot, brown ground beef with salt.
  2. When meat is fully cooked, drain the excess fat and set aside until needed.
  3. Using the same pot, add cooking oil and sauté garlic, onions, bell peppers and celery until tender.
  4. Mix in meat (be careful not to over-mix).
  5. Add tomato paste, water, chili beans, chili powder, Cajun seasoning and paprika, and mix together.
  6. Bring to a boil for 2 minutes (be careful not to burn).
  7. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for 1.5 hours.
  8. Serve “Sloppy Joe” style, on lightly toasted King's Hawaiian rolls.
  9. To make teeth or fangs, start by cutting cheese slices into triangular pieces.
  10. Lay the cheese over ground beef mix with their sides hanging over.
  11. If you like more cheese, make more teeth.
  12. Using toothpicks, secure two pimento-stuffed green olives for eyes (and be careful when eating).
