INGREDIENTS

6 oz 93% lean ground beef

0.5 whole whole grain bun

0.25 cup tomato puree

0.25 cup yellow onion

0.25 cup green bell pepper

0.5 tsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp minced garlic

1 tsp yellow mustard

1 tsp worcestershire sauce

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp smoked paprika

PREPARATION

• 1

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

• 2

  Add the finely diced yellow onion and green bell pepper to the skillet, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

• 3

  Add the lean ground beef to the skillet, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, and cook until no longer pink.

• 4

  Stir in the minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, cooking for an additional 60 seconds to release the aromatics.

• 5

  Pour in the tomato puree, yellow mustard, and Worcestershire sauce, stirring well to combine all ingredients.

• 6

  Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and beautifully coats the beef.

• 7

  While the meat simmers, lightly toast the whole grain bun in a separate pan or toaster until golden.

• 8

  Spoon the savory sloppy joe mixture generously onto the bottom half of the toasted bun, top with the other half, and serve warm.
