Gluten Free Sloppy Joes
This gluten free take on a classic favorite is flavorful and nostalgic, perfect for a quick meal.
Equipment
- skillet
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ cup green bell pepper, diced
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic link
- 1 6 ounce can tomato paste not sauce!
- ½ cup water
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar or to taste
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- ¾ teaspoon chili powder link
- ½ teaspoon salt link
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 gluten free burger buns I love Trader Joes
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter.
- Once the butter is melted, add in the ground beef and saute until it begins to brown a bit on all sides- it doesn't need to be cooked through yet.
- Add in the diced onion and bell pepper and saute an additional 4-5 minutes. Mix in the minced garlic and saute for 1 more minutes.
- Add in the can of tomato paste and saute for about 2-3 minutes, this will help toast the tomato paste and deepen the flavor.
- Add in all remaining ingredients and mix well to combine. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
- Toast your buns, add the sloppy joe mixture onto the buns and add on any other desired toppings- pickles, red onion, lettuce, cheese etc. Enjoy!
Notes
Sloppy joes traditionally call for yellow mustard, but I love the flavor of dijon. You can definitely use yellow if you prefer!
