Nico’s Clean Sloppy Joes

August 18, 2012 by Chandra Filed Under: Recipes

Here is an easy recipe for Clean Sloppy Joes.  We enjoyed our Sloppy Joes with a yummy green smoothie.  This doesn’t look like a big meal, but it is, you’d be surprised how filling it is.

Clean Sloppy Joes
Ingredients
  • 1 lb organic ground beef
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 10 tbsp tomato paste (1 small can)
  • ½ cup red onion, minced
  • ½ cup bell peppers, minced (orange)
  • 2 tbsp Worcester Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp dry Colmans mustard
  • ½ tbsp chili powder
  • 1¼ cup water
  • 1 Ezekiel 4:9 Buns
Instructions
  1. Step 1: Mince peppers, garlic and onion.
  2. Step 2: Heat olive oil, garlic, onion over medium heat and brown.
  3. Step 3: Add ground beef and cook over medium heat until brown and fully cooked.
  4. Step 4: Add bell pepper, Worcester sauce, chili powder, mustard powder, and water. Cook until thick or desired consistency. You may need to add more water depending on how thick you like your Sloppy Joes {we like them a bit thicker}.
  5. Step 5: Place about ¼ the Sloppy Joe mix over ½ an Ezekiel or whole wheat bun, place the other half on top or leave off and eat open faced with a knife and fork.
Notes
Nutritional content is WITHOUT the bun and estimated based on CalorieCount.com
2.2.8

This recipe is low sodium, high in selenium, high in vitamin B12, high in vitamin C, high in zinc so enjoy!

The nutritional value will vary depending on what bun you use.  We used Ezekiel Buns and I only ate 1/2, while my husband ate the whole bun.  The nutritional value below is based on the whole bun and calculated from CalorieCount.com.

And this is the final version with the Green Shake with all our extra veggies!  And hell yeah we drank it out of wine glass – why not!
