Sloppy Joes

Every once in a while I will get a craving for Sloppy Joes. So, when I do… I make them for dinner!  Yet, this isn’t your Manwich Sloppy Joes, this is better for you because it has more vegetables, more protein, and not loaded with preservatives. I got the inspiration for making homemade Sloppy Joes by a pin I saw on Pinterest. It came from a blog called Whipped. Her recipe might be a little healthier due to the fact she used turkey meat and things. But, I have to say, mine are pretty darn good.

What You’ll Need:

1 pound of Ground Beef

1 medium Onion, diced

2 Garlic cloves, minced

1 Pepper (I chose orange), chopped

8 oz of Tomato Sauce

1 tablespoon of Brown Sugar

1 can of Red Beans, rinsed and drained

1 tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar

½ cup of Ketchup

Salt and Pepper

Hamburger Buns

What You’ll Do:

• In a skillet, add the onion, garlic, and pepper with some olive oil. Once the vegetables start to get tender, add in the ground beef. Also, add in ½ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper.
• Once the meat is cooked through and the vegetables are cooked add in the beans.
• Now, stir in tomato sauce, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar.
• Simmer for about 10-15 minutes. This will help all of the ingredients come together.
• Lastly, serve on warm hamburger buns! 

How easy is that?! This is such a fast and easy recipe to whip up for yourself or for your family! My mouth is just watering thinking about it!!!

Enjoy
