These are hands down the BEST sloppy joes we have ever had! I can not believe how much flavor is packed into this simple recipe. Plus, they are very healthy! The original recipe calls for ground beef, but I used 97% lean ground white turkey breast. These were hearty, filling, healthy, flavorful and so easy! I served the sloppy joe filling on some wonderful homemade french bread that I made last week which I had in the freezer. I also served some spaghetti squash and potato fries on the side. What a delicious meal! Thanks to Ellie Kreiger from the Food Network, this is a recipe that we will be making over and over. This can even be made in a large batch and frozen for a quick meal during the week.
Sloppy Joes
1 pound extra lean ground beef or ground turkey
1 onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeno, seeded and ribs removed, minced finely
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 small can red beans or pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
2 Tbsp. tomato paste
1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
1 Tbsp. molases
1 Tbsp. worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. mustard powder
1/2 tsp. salt
freshly ground black pepper
Brown the meat and the onion in a large 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, jalapeno and red bell pepper and cook for 5 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Stir in the rest of the ingredients, reduce heat to low, and simmer for minutes more. Serve on hamburger buns or french bread.
