Paleo Sloppy Joe Bowl Recipe
Ingredients:
• 1 lb Primal Blend Ground Beef
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 (14.5 oz) can crushed tomatoes (no added sugar)
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon coconut aminos (or 1 teaspoon of your favorite Paleo-friendly soy sauce substitute)
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• Salt to taste
• 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Cook the Sweet Potatoes:
Start by cooking the sweet potatoes. Heat a large pot of water to boil and add the diced sweet potatoes. Boil for about 10-12 minutes, until they’re tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Primal Blend Ground Beef:
While the sweet potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Primal Blend Ground Beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.
3. Add Vegetables and Spices:
To the beef, add the chopped onion, diced bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables have softened.
4. Make the Sloppy Joe Sauce:
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, cumin, and black pepper. Mix well and bring to a simmer. Allow the mixture to cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded together. Taste and add salt as needed.
5. Assemble the Bowl:
Once the sweet potatoes are ready and the sloppy joe mixture has thickened, it’s time to assemble your bowls. Start by placing a scoop of the cooked sweet potatoes at the bottom of each bowl. Spoon the sloppy joe mixture on top.
6. Garnish and Serve:
Finish the bowl with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley for color and freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy!
