Haha, had this ready to post Monday night for Wednesday and I guess I just totally forgot until I got on here to make a few other posts....so here it goes again...another mass posting from the Nicholas's!! I guess this can be used as inspiration to eat healthy over the Halloween weekend instead of all of the high calorie treats that you or your kiddos might be getting over the weekend.
Today's recipe is one our family & friend's favorites and OHHHHH so EASY!!! I can actually say this is my recipe!! I LOVE Sloppy Joe's so I played around with a few ingredients several years ago and this is what I have come up with!!
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef (I used 93/7 - I'm sure you could use ground turkey if you prefer)
1 small onion, chopped (I used a yellow one)
1 bell pepper, chopped (I used a yellow one)
1 small jalapeno
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 cup Ketchup
2 beef bouillon cubes, crushed
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon Splenda Brown Sugar Blend
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon season salt
Put jalapeno, garlic cloves, onion, bell pepper and ground beef in a skillet and brown the meat, either cook the fat out or discard excess fat in pan. Combine ALL ingredients in crock pot, stirring well. Cover and cook on low 4-6 hours or on high 2-4 hours. Serve over warmed burger buns or noodles.
Serves 6 one cup servings
WW pts: 5 for just the Sloppy Joe - the bun or noodles will add points depending on your selection.
I was so excited about eating it and so hungry I forgot to take a final picture. OOPS!! We have served these Sloppy Joe's both ways and they are both equally DELICIOUS!
**For the sandwich - I generally buy the 4 pt Sara Lee Wheat Buns & for the noodles - Tonight we had noodles...I used Ronzoni Smart Taste Extra Wide Noodles for 3 pts a serving.
