From Ellie Krieger comes a sloppy joe recipe that will make your mouth water!
This sandwich, with its yummy meaty filling and tangy sweet, thick tomato sauce is an excellent source of fiber, manganese, molybdenum, niacin, protein, selenium, vitamin B12, vitamin C, and zinc. It’s also a good source of copper, folate, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, thiamin, vitamin A, and vitamin B6.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean or extra-lean (90 percent lean or higher) ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced (about 1-1⁄2 cups)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (about 4 teaspoons)
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and diced (about 1 cup)
- 1 (15.5-ounce) can small red 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 unsulfured molasses
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 8 whole-wheat burger buns
Cooking Instructions
- Brown the meat and 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, jalapeño, and red pepper and cook 5 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Stir in the rest of the ingredients, except the buns, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Place a 1⁄2-cup scoop of the mixture onto each bun and serve.
Perfect for a summer backyard party! Be sure to take out the forks and napkins for this messy-but-oh-so-yummy meal!
