Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean or higher)
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste (no added sugar)
- 1 cup no-sugar-added tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 leaves iceberg or romaine lettuce leaves (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and green bell pepper to the skillet, and sauté for 3-5 minutes, or 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, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until fully browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the tomato paste, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well to combine.
Add the paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to evenly distribute the spices.
Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the sloppy joe mixture in lettuce leaves for a low-carb option, or over your favorite whole-grain buns if diet permits.
