Heather says:
I know a can of sloppy joe sauce is easy, but it’s often loaded with high fructose corn syrup, something we work hard to avoid. This recipe is our go-to alternative. If you’re also trying to cut out hfcs, be sure to check the label on your hamburger buns. Oh, and even though you get a “serving” of vegetables with every sandwich, it’s still a good idea to serve some on the side.
Sloppy Joe Recipe
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion diced
- 1 small bell pepper diced
- 2 8oz cans tomato sauce
- 2 TBSP tomato paste
- 1 tsp Montreal steak seasoning
- 3 TBSP brown sugar
- 1 TSP Worcestershire sauce
Over medium heat brown then drain the ground beef. Return to the heat and add diced onions and peppers, cook until the onions and bell peppers are soft. Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, brown sugar, Montreal Steak Seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional five – ten minutes stirring occasionally. Serve on toasted buns.
Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

PS This turns out better if you sing along with Adam Sandler and Lunchlady Land1:
1Any offense to any specific lunchlady is not intentional and if taken should be directed to Adam Sandler for planting the song in my head back in the early to mid-nineties.
Enjoy.
