Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup tomato sauce (low-sugar)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add finely chopped onion and green bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook the beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until it is browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Reduce the heat to medium, then add the tomato paste, stirring to coat the beef and vegetables.
Add the low-sugar tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Mix everything thoroughly and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Serve the Sloppy Joe mixture in low-carb buns or over a bed of fresh greens for a truly low-carb meal. Enjoy!
