Photo: Sloppy Joes Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound extra-lean ground beef
- 1 onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 jalapeno, minced
- 1 red pepper, diced
- 1 can small red beans or pinto beans, preferably low sodium drained and rinsed
- 1 1/2 cups no-salt-added tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 8 whole-wheat burger buns
Directions
Brown the meat and the onion in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, breaking up the meat into crumbles as it cooks. Pour the drippings out of the pan and discard. Add the garlic, jalapeno, and red pepper and cook 5 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Stir in the rest of the ingredients, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes more. Place a half-cup scoop of the mixture onto each bun and serve.

These were GREAT!! My family loved them. I love how we don't need to use canned sloppy joe mix or ketchup in this recipe. I used ground turkey instead of beef. We'll definitely be adding this to the rotation. Thanks Ellie!

I loved it!! I usually add ketchup to my sloppy joes but this seriously did not need anything else! I excluded the molasses and the red wine, just because I didn't have any and honestly didn't feel like going out to the store. I replaced the ground beef with ground turkey and I did add in diced green peppers along with the red peppers, I diced up some mushroom as well as adding in some red pepper flakes for a little extra heat (lots of color!. It left a nice burn...my boyfriend loved it. I think this one will be added to the weekly rotation! So easy and delicious.
