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.

We just absolutely love this recipe. Reminded me of the old canned Sloppy Joe's, but with much better flavor. This time around, I made it exactly like the recipe, but it leave a lot of room to change and modify. We will make it again and again.

I followed the recipe except that I used ground turkey (as I have for the last few years for sloppy joe's and tacos, supplemented some of the tomato sauce with 1 small can of low sodium V8 Juice (as I generally do for red sauce items and I didn't have fresh jalepeno on hand, so I used canned.
To us, there was something missing in the sauce. Perhaps the ketchup or brown sugar that she likely eliminated to make it healthier. I think I'll add a bit of each to the leftovers, let it meld overnight and see if it's better tomorrow.

OK so my kids wouldn't go near it, and a little spicy for me just on a bun, but I enjoyed the leftover batch very much heated and served with tortilla chips as a dip.
