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.

This had a very nice flavor. I don't know why you would want it to be spicy. It's perfect the way it is!

Loved this recipe! My only experience with sloppy joe's in the past is Manwich, and these were much better! I had made it for my roommates and friends and everyone wanted seconds! I also felt that it was pretty healthy for such a comfort food type of meal. I think next time I may try and add more veggies (just my preference, but this is definitely a keeper!

About a week ago, I happen to see Ellie Krieger prepare these sloppy joes on the cooking channel, and I had to make them, but was very disappointed how they turned out. The sloppy joes were VERY BLAND. I thought the jalapeno would of added some heat, but it did not, and the molasses didn't sweeten the sloppy joes, so I added some chili powder hoping it would spice them up, plus I added some dark brown sugar, hoping it would sweeten them up, but the end results, neither my husband and I didn't care for them. Hubby politely adviced me not to make them again.
