Skinny Sloppy Joes

This recipe was taken from Rachel Ray and tweaked by using lean beef and more veggies to make this low in fat. Serve it on crusty whole-wheat rolls or low point bread. Enjoy your sandwich and have plenty of napkins on hand! Our family loved it and I couldn’t believe how great it smelled and tasted.

Ingredients:

1.25 lbs 93% lean ground beef sirloin

1 tbsp steak seasoning or seasoned salt

1 carrot, minced

1 medium onion, minced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup red bell pepper, minced

1 tbsp red wine vinegar

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

15 oz tomato sauce

2 tbsp tomato paste

Directions:

Chop all the vegetables really fine, using a chopper or food processor.

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the meat to the pan and break it up as it cooks. Season with steak seasoning and cook the meat until it browns, then add onion, garlic, carrots and red peppers to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium and add red wine vinegar and Worcestershire sauce, cook 5 more minutes. Add tomato sauce and paste to pan, stir to combine. Cover and reduce heat to simmer and cook an additional 5 minutes. Using a measuring cup, pile 1/2 cup of sloppy meat onto toasted buns.
