Sloppy Joes



Julie shared this recipe with me.  My guys loved it!  Very simple to make - definitely a quick meal.  When buying your beef, read the label carefully.  It must say '100 %' grass fed, not just 'grass fed'.  All cows start out on pasture before being moved to a feed lot to be fattened up.  Thaw your ground beef a day ahead in the refrigerator.  Also find a better quality ketchup.  There are a number of good brands of organic ketchup.  Read the label.  Most contain some sugar, which is o.k.; make sure yours does not contain high fructose corn syrup (HFCS).  I buy organic ketchup. 
 


 
Ingredients:
 
1 pound '100% grass fed' ground beef
1/2 yellow onion, diced fine
1/3 cup organic ketchup
1/4 cup strained tomatoes (Bionatura brand)
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp sea salt
a few grinds of freshly ground black pepper
1 large tomato, diced fine
4 whole grain hamburger buns

Brown the ground beef in a large skillet (I use my cast iron; don't use a skillet with a non-stick coating).  Pour out grease.  Add onions and continue cooking until translucent (a couple more minutes).  Add the remaining ingredients and cook until tomatoes are softened, about 5 more minutes.  Serve immediately on a hamburger bun.
