Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (85% lean)
- 0.5 cup Yellow onion, chopped
- 0.5 cup Green bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 0.5 cup Beef broth
- 0.5 cup Tomato sauce (unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Liquid smoke
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon Erythritol or another keto-friendly sweetener
Instructions
Place a large pan over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned.
Drain excess fat if necessary, then add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until vegetables are soft.
Stir in the tomato paste and mix evenly with the beef and vegetables for about 1 minute.
Pour in the beef broth and tomato sauce, then add Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, black pepper, soy sauce, and erythritol.
Stir to combine all ingredients and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce heat to low, and let the mixture simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve the Sloppy Joe meat warm. Enjoy it on a low-carb bread substitute or atop a fresh lettuce wrap.
