    How this recipe came to be:

    With necessity being the mother of invention, this loose meat sausage sandwich was born out of my need to use up some bulk pork sausage I had previously taken out of the freezer and thawed.

    I also needed to combine some pantry items that had been calling my name each and every time I opened the cabinet. 

    Let me tell you, those little cans of fire-roasted chilies can be mighty persistent!

    Can this sloppy Jose filling be frozen after cooking?

    Yes, most definitely.

    Store it in an air-tight freezer container for up to 3 months.

    Thaw, heat, and serve.

    Can this loose meat sandwich be made with ground beef or turkey?

    You bet.

    Feel free to experiment with what you have on hand. Ground beef, turkey, and even ground chicken will work wonderfully well.
