Ground beef cooked in a spicy tomato sauce, then served on a slice of gluten-free bread.

"Sloppy Joe" is a popular American sandwich. As the name suggests, it is not the greatest in appearance and is somewhat messy to eat, but it is very tasty and always a great hit with children.

Ingredients

1 onions, finely chopped 200 g
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tbsp canola oil 23 mL
1/2 tsp salt 2 g
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper 2 g
500 g ground beef, lean
ground pepper to taste [optional]
1/4 cup tomato paste 80 g
1/2 cup ketchup 130 g
1 tsp brown sugar 4 g
1/4 cup water 65 mL
8 drops Tabasco sauce [optional] 0.63 mL
4 slices gluten-free bread 180 g

Method

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
  2. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion then cook until it is translucent, about 3 min with occasional stirring, paying attention not to let it burn. Add salt, then reduce the heat, cover and cook until the onion is soft, about 5 min. Add the garlic and Cayenne pepper then cook with stirring until fragrant, 1 min.
  3. Add the beef then cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until it loses its pink colour, about 5 min (It is important not to overcook the meat at this point, otherwise it will end up dry and crumbly).
  4. Season with ground pepper to taste, then add the tomato paste, ketchup, brown sugar, and water. A few drops of Tabasco sauce may be added for extra spiciness. Cover, then simmer 10 min.
  5. Adjust the seasoning. Spoon the meat mixture onto gluten-free bread slices then serve.

Observations

The meat mixture keeps up to 7 days in the refrigerator or up to 2 months in the freezer. To return it to its original consistency, you may need to add a little water when it is reheated.
