Simple Sloppy Joes (Gluten Free)

I remember when I was a kid having easy meal nights. One of the meals I remember was sloppy joes. I guess they were even simplier than mine back then. You would brown ground beef and add a can of manwhich sauce. Hmm, I couldn’t even imagine doing that these days.

If you like sloppy joes but would prefer a pasta dish, why not try my Sloppy Joe Pasta!

Now that I have my buns tasting great, it’s back to being able to pick up sandwiches such as Sloppy Joes!! Here is my version.

Sloppy Joes (Gluten Free)

1 lb. extra lean ground beef, chicken or turkey
1 medium onion-chopped
1/2 medium green pepper-chopped
2 cloves garlic-minced
1-7oz. can tomato paste
7oz. water
1 tsp. celery seed
2 tsp. dry mustard powder
2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp. palm sugar ( or desired granular sugar)
sea salt and pepper to taste

In frying pan over medium heat brown meat and drain fat; add onion and green pepper and saute until vegetables are soft; add garlic.
Then add tomato paste, one can of water, and rest of ingredients. Let simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.

Serve on my Hamburger Buns, Egg Free BunsΒ or desired buns… Makes four servings.
