Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- ½ onion Diced.
- 1 bell pepper Chopped.
- ½ cup water Substitute low sodium organic broth.
- 1 lb organic grass fed ground beef Substitute organic ground chicken.
- 3 Tbsp organic tomato paste No salt or sugar added.
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/3 tsp liquid stevia optional
- 1 Tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Himalayan pink sea salt
- 4 leaves romaine or butter letuce or cabbage
Instructions
- Add onion and bell pepper to a non-stick fry pan, cooking for 5-7 mins on medium heat, add water or low sodium broth to keep from sticking.
- Add ground beef or chicken and cook through. (note: For those using ground beef, after it is cooked, place the beef in a colander and rinse it under HOT water. This will remove any excess fat from the meat.)
- Put meat back into the pan and mix in tomato paste, vinegar, stevia, and seasonings. Stir until all the paste is mixed in. If the mixture is too thick, add water or broth to thin the paste.
- Mix and serve on romaine leaves as your bun!

Simple and tasty recipe
Easy and quick prep, very tasty
Week 1 Day 2 – made this for dinner and it qas great! Will definitely be making it again
Very good – great left over too
Very tasty! I’m not a green pepper fan but wanted to stay true to the recipe so I chopped the pieces very fine and tossed them into the meat after it was fully cooked and the sauce already added. I put everything in a container, closed the lid, and when I reopened 5 minutes later the peppers were tender, not bitter, and very good.
I made this last weekend and LOVED it. Had it for lunch all week and looked forward to it every day! (I was going to change my lunch up, but couldn’t do it – I wanted the sloppy joes!!)
Love this!
Great for family taste great, & easy to prepare. Next time I will have to make more because my daughter eat my leftovers.
I found it quite good but a little too sweet. I will be decreasing the stevia. My husband was not a fan. He couldn’t tell me what it was that he didn’t like so I may have to tweak a few more things to get him on board.
Super easy and delicious.
Made a large batch for the superbowl and the whole family loved it! I added a little dijon mustard to cut the sweetness. Had it again for lunch as leftovers and just as good!
Delicious! I did not add stevia and found it has the right amount of sweetness without it. I added red radish as a topping for some freshness.
This was surprisingly good! I haven’t had Sloppy Joes in years and thought we wouldn’t like the sweetness, so I left out the stevia. Would be great with a few slivers of radish on top for crunch. Recommend a double batch.
Easy and always a hit. It’s got all sorts of possibilities. Also good in bell pepper cups!
Five star it was great
I tried this before and today l will cook it again. I love this recipe 😋
Delicious!!!!!!!
Quickly became a family favorite.
Wonderful!!! We love it!
Excellent!
This is going to be a regular on our meal plan, so so good!
I really liked this recipe. It was very easy to make and it was very tasty. I had planned to make it a cabbage wrap, but I didn’t have any sauce for it, so I put it over a salad and it had a “taco salad” feel to it. No need for any dressing. It was very filling and enjoyable. I will make this again. Thanks for the recipe.
Great recipe! To change it up, I added chili powder and a little cumin and made tacos. Also added some cilantro and green onions to garnish. Delicious!
I took this recipe a made my zucchini boat with it.
Well, dang! That was really good and easy. My old man gives this his approval as well 😬
I added some cumin and a splash of lime juice. Delicious.
