I love the old, comfort favorites. Especially the meals that you associate with growing up. As a new mom myself, I am determined to introduce my kids to those same comforts and joys that I experienced. Sloppy Joes, being one of them. What American kid growing up did not get to enjoy the awesomeness that is.....The Sloppy Joe??? But in true clean fashion, I assure you, you will enjoy this comfort classic...but without all the unnecessary fat, sugar, and salt.
Ingredients:
1 pound lean ground meat (I prefer Turkey) (4 reds)
1/2 green bell pepper diced (1/2 green)
1/2 onion diced (1/2 green)
1-14.5 ounce can no salt added tomato sauce (2 purples or greens) (I always have canned whole tomatoes on hand, so I just blend it up first, then add it)
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoons worchestershire (low sodium if you have it)
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (or raw honey)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
Cook the ground meat. Drain if necessary. Add pepper and onion to the meat and saute until the veggies start to soften (about 5-7 minutes). Add the tomatoes and all seasonings. Cover with a lid and simmer for 25-30 minutes. Serve on buns or over mashed potatoes or cauliflower.
Yield: 4 servings
