Introduction
Sloppy joes are a classic American dish that has been enjoyed for generations. However, the traditional recipe is loaded with sugar and carbs, making it a no-go for anyone following a keto diet. That's where this recipe comes in. We've created a keto-friendly version of sloppy joes that is just as delicious and satisfying as the original, but without all the added sugars and carbs.
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup low-carb ketchup
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
Lettuce leaves, for serving
Instructions
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
Add the chopped onion, green pepper, and garlic to the skillet and sauté until the vegetables are tender.
Add the tomato sauce, low-carb ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Add the browned ground beef back to the skillet and stir to combine with the sauce. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
Serve the sloppy joes in lettuce leaves, using them as a low-carb alternative to traditional buns.
Tips
Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your taste. If you like it spicier, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper.
You can also add some diced tomatoes or jalapeños for extra flavor.
If you don't have low-carb ketchup, you can make your own by mixing tomato paste with a little bit of water, vinegar, and sweetener.
