Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small, diced onion
- 1 small, diced green bell pepper
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and green bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they become soft and the onion is translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Increase heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Break up the meat with a wooden spoon and cook until browned, about 7-8 minutes.
Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat from the pan if necessary.
Reduce heat to medium and stir in the tomato paste, ensuring it is well distributed through the beef mixture.
Add the can of diced tomatoes (including the liquid), coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, honey, smoked paprika, chili powder, sea salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let it cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Uncover and cook for an additional 5 minutes to thicken the sauce, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary before serving.
Serve the Paleo Sloppy Joe meat over your choice of paleo-friendly bread, sweet potato slices, or lettuce wraps.
