PREPARATION

• 1

  Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

• 2

  Add the finely diced yellow onion and red bell pepper to the pan, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened and translucent.

• 3

  Increase the heat slightly and add the lean ground beef, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon or spatula until it is fully browned.

• 4

  Stir in the tomato puree, apple cider vinegar, honey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  Reduce the heat to low and let the beef mixture simmer for 5-8 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld into a rich, smoky glaze.

• 6

  While the beef is simmering, slice the whole grain slider buns and lightly toast them in a dry pan or toaster until golden brown.

  Divide the sloppy joe mixture evenly between the toasted slider buns and serve immediately while hot.
