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.

Yummy and Healthy!

Great recipe! Have made several times,but my husband asked that I leave out the beans next time. I like it either way!

As good as ... no, better than the original!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The whole family loved this recipe and it tastes every bit as good as any other sloppy joe I've had and it's better because I... know how good it is for us. This will be included in our family favorites for sure. Read more

Better (& Healthier) than my mother-in-law's recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My mother-in-law has an unbelievably delicious recipe for sloppy joes that she gave to me when I got married and told me it... was one of my husband's favorites. Problem is, when I made it, I couldn't believe how many cans of processed meat and such got mixed into it. Ellie's recipe was so refreshing and (don't tell my mother-in-law) my husband said it was the best he has had.Read more

Delicious (and healthy)!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love these sloppy joes. My boyfriend requests them on almost a weekly basis. I have made them with ground beef, ground... chicken and even soy crumbles. I never have molasses on hand so I always omit it. To make them a little saltier, I use one can of regular tomato sauce and one can of no salt added and they come out perfect!Read more

Good but not great
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I loved all the veggies and beans (vs. my Mom's all beef extravaganza growing up) - but I found the recipe to be somewhat... bland, a little runny, and too acidic. I definitely will try again with some modifications: less bell pepper, no vinegar, more tomato paste, less sauce (or find a thicker sauce - Trader Joe's just doesn't cut it sometimes). I think for all the seasonings, you can afford to go a little heavier. And I'd also simmer a bit longer at the end - any other tips for a thicker sauce?Read more

This Recipe ROCKS!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My family just loves these sloppy joes! They are so yummy and so easy. I add about 10 jalapeno seeds to give it a little... kick. Its hard to believe this is "healthy" when it tastes so good!Read more
